Looks like this bottom leaf on my silver sword Philodendron is turning yellow. Any ideas what might be causing it? I never water unless the soil completely dry and it’s about 4 feet away from the south facing window.

It’s probably just an old leaf, you can just prune it off

Love when that’s the explanation and it’s not something actually wrong

Lol. I had the same thing going on with mine a couple weeks ago and I was freaking out, but I learned that it was probably one of the first leaves that grew so it gets to be this pale-yellow over time.
