    It’s a philodendron birkin! Mine does super well in an east-facing window. I’m not sure I see the yellow you mentioned.

      I tend to think overwatering with yellow leaves, although that’s not always the case. What kind of soil are you using? I added some perlite and orchid bark to mine to allow for easy drainage.

    It could be overwatering leading to root rot or an old leaf dying off. Check if it’s s as leaf lower on the stem which means it’s older. The plant will let a leaf die off to send energy to newer leaves. It’s a natural process. Carefully remove the pot to check for signs of rot: saturated soil, dark mushy roots or a swampy scent of rot. Remove the rot with the soil, disinfect roots with a hydrogen peroxide rinse and replace with a well draining soil if it’s rot. 🪴🍀
