Heart-leaf philodendron leaf yellowing… any thoughts on why?

My heart-leaf philodendron is having a bit of a moan via the medium of yellowing leaves.

Any bright ideas as to why this is happening, and what I could do to improve its attitude?

It currently sits in a north-north-east facing room, albeit a bright one because the windows are floor-to-ceiling and about nine feet tall. I don’t think I’m over-watering it (I follow the Planta app instructions). It’s still putting out new growth but it’s the older, larger leaves that are yellowing at the edges.

It was such a pretty, healthy plant all of last year and I can’t work out why it’s decided to turn on me.

I’m fairly sure this is due to over-watering. They are quite forgiving plants and should be easy to care for - I’d stop watering for at least a week, maybe two and see how it goes

Draughts?

Hm yes could be overwatering or draught actually. This flat is generally quite draughty and the plant does sit between the window and the living room door.

Thanks both -- I'll move it and see if it perks up.
