Please help! The majority of my plants are thriving but I cannot for the life of me revive my poor philodendron. He used to be full of leaves but now he is bare and has some browning and yellowing of leaves. I posted before and after pictures. The newer leaves look nice and green! Am I overwatering or underwatering? How often do philodendrons normally need watering? I did recently buy a water meter. Should I wait until the soil is completely dry?
I am fairly certain you have a Monstera deliciosa there, but their watering requirements are the same, let them dry out before watering again ☺️

I let my philodendrons dry out before watering
1 LikeThank you both! I may be overwatering. I was just following Planta’s watering schedule. Now that I have a water meter, I will make sure it is dry. I also am adding a grow light in case it isn’t getting enough sun.

This is most certainly a monstera. They like drying out in between waterings. Use your fingers not a meter, down the side of the pot, if the top two inches of soil is dry then water. Don't let it sit in water or the roots will rot.
