    Depending on how low the temperature went, and for how long, they may have suffered only leaf damage. If the roots weren't frozen, they'll be okay. Give them a few days to make sure the leaves that aren't damaged too badly can stand up, then cut off the damaged leaves and proceed as normal. If they can grow, they will. Just make sure the soil isn't staying too wet, as the plants won't have as many leaves as they had before to transpire water.

    Yellowing and dieing of old and new leaves is possibly a sign of fungal infection in the roots, often called root rot, most likely caused by over-wet soil. A fungus would also account for whitish blisters on the stem. Philodendrons indoors, especially if they are in only moderate light, need to have the soil get almost dry all the way to the bottom of the pot between waterings. Probably what happened is that when the light level reduced as fall approached, you continued to water the same as you did in the summer. You need to reduce water when light gets less. Checking soil moisture with an electronic meter should be helpful. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/soil-fertilizers/testing-moisture-in-plants.htm

    The dark knots on the stems where leaves branch off of our normal.

    Is your plant getting enough light? If the plant is getting leggy, it is needing more sunlight.

    Let your soil dry slightly between watering. Philodendrons respond pretty quickly to corrections in care.

    Here is an article that has good information.

    Yellowing leaves on philodendrons could be attributed to chlorosis, which is caused by a lack of magnesium in the soil. In this case, you would want to apply a balanced liquid foliage houseplant fertilizer that contains macro-nutrients. Yellowing in leaves can also indicate overwatering or too much direct sunlight.

    Yes, you can successfully transplant your philodendron. You will need to be careful to get both the shallow aerial roots and much of the longer tap roots. The plant will need to be cut down, this will allow the roots to start growing in it's new home and not have to support the entire plant.
