I just got this swiss cheese philodendron 2 weeks ago from a reputable seller, but as soon as i got home the leaves started turning yellow rapidly. I gave it a couple days just in case it was overwatered but it became worse, so i lightly watered it. It still didn’t help. Could it be overwatered still? What can i do? Thanks!!!

It could be stress from being relocated.

i would look at the roots and see if there’s any rot, then propogate what you can
