    It can probably be root rot have you checked?

      regular potting mix. i was wondering if i should downsize the pot size it keeps dropping leaves and mix in a tropical mix. but when i checked the root system is still seems ok

      Yeah! I would go an inch or 2 smaller and use a chunkier mix. I recommend Molly's Aroid Mix. I use it for all my tropicals and they love it!

    Not an aroid expert and I can’t really tell the real texture of it from the photos but look up edema/corky growths. (If it spreads, it’s likely not edema and is infectious, so your description of your previous incidence gives me pause.) solution would be repot in airier soil mix, and the diagnosis would be consistent with the lingering wetness of the soil.
