Dumb Philodendron Questions

First off, do y'all think this one is salvageable? It's still pushing the new leaf, but the rest are all sad and droopy. Do I treat this like a palm, where you leave the foliage alone as long as it's still green? Apparently the pot and soil weren't draining as well as I thought, so I put it in dry soil, cleaned the roots, and put it in a smaller pot. I haven't given it any water in about a week. It's a McColley's Finale, and I bought it as part of a bundle and it's the reason I bought them. I really want this one to live. Anything else I can do? Heat mat?

Do the new leaves in these next 2 pics look normal? I'm new to these, and I've gotten used to how my Congo Red leaves look when they emerge (3rd pic). Also, these new leaves seem like they're taking longer to emerge. Is it because they're adjusting to their new home, or is the Congo Red just that much faster? The other 2 are a Moonlight and Prince of Orange.

No expert here, but if it's pushing a new leaf, I would help it along. Figure out the right soil moisture and light level.
