    I would suggest watering the plant well and enlisting the help of a few other people.
    You should be able to set the pot on it's side and work the plant out of the pot.

    If your not able to free the plant by sliding out the root ball, you can then gently break the pot and free the entire root ball.

    Some pruning of the roots could be done, but not as drastic as you mention.

    I suspect your roots are quite tight in the pot and can be gently opened up.

    Use a good quality potting soil and a pot that adequately holds the root ball with a bit more room. Make sure it has a good drainage hole or two.

    The yellowing leaves may be due to lack of moisture, the soil may not be holding enough moisture with it root bound.

    With this description, it's hard to say.
    It could be nothing or a more serious disease issue.

    You can tell it's time to move your Philodendron Selloum to a larger pot when the roots have filled the existing pot. The new container should be only 1"-2" wider and deeper than the previous container.
    A Philodendron Selloum grows best in rich, slightly alkaline soil that retains moisture. The leaf tips of a Philodendron Selloum burn if there is too much salt in the soil usually due to over-feeding.
    Prune a Philodendron Selloum with sharp pruners or scissors to control its size and shape. You can remove entire leaves be cutting them off at the base of the leaf stem. You can remove the lower leaves if you want to reveal the plant's stem. Wear gloves when pruning a Philodendron Selloum and wash your hands and tools when finished, you don't want to get the sap in your eyes or mouth.
