Monstera’s leaves are turning yellow


I transplanted it a month ago into a bigger pot and removed all the rotted roots. Few weeks ago some leaves started to turn yellow and i don't know how to stop it.
Where I live it is a cold and cloudy autumn and almost no sunny days, comparing to very hot and sunny summer.
I regularly(once a week) water it(not in the shower because it's really heavy), but I don't use any fertilizer, maybe that's the case? Then what kind should I use? Thank you for help.
Sorry for my english, I'm not native, and I don't have a lot of knowledge of planting now

    It looks like it hasn’t had enough light, and it sounds like you’re watering too much.

    Do you have a brighter window?

    The plant is not going to grow new or larger leaves down below, so you may want to cut some propagations and start over.

    You can cut the plant right down to the lip of the pot and put some of the parts you cut away into water to grow new roots.

    The plant that’s left in the pot will put up new shoots.

    None of this will work if the plant isn’t getting more light.

    These need a ton of light, yours looks leggy so I’m guessing it isn’t getting enough, and if there were rotting roots you’re overwatering.

    Is it possible to buy a growlight in your country?
