Does anybody know why this could be happening. I had one leaf turn yellow so I cut it off but now this is happening to the last two leaves. Should I repot it or what?

I would definitely check for mealybugs! I had something similar happen to my neon syngonium and that’s what the problem was

I checked and the soil was retaining too much water from the nursery I bought it from. I had to trim some roots and I down sized the pot. Should I leave these leaves as is or chop them off too?

I think you should leave the leaves till they fully shrivel and are dead because if you cut them too soon not all the nutrients from those leaves will go back to the plant

Thank you so much!
