I repotted these plants a couple years ago with professional help. Now not sure what to do. Dark purple is losing leaves on bottom and looks like a tuft on top of a stalk and lighter purple leaves are yellowing. What do these guys need me to do?

My AFV always lose leaves from the bottom. I have started adding some miracle grow to the water every time I fill their bowls and the leaf loss has slowed down and the bloom ratio has gone way up. Not sure it’s recommended by purists, but it has worked for me.
Also, when mine got too leggy, and bent out of its pot, I followed a YouTube video about how to trim the stalk and repot (pulling even more leaves off the bottom after discarding the stalk that was under the dirt, replanting the shortened straighter stalk and topping off with some fresh soil), and then I tented it with a green produce bag for a month. Plant emerged well-seated, and now looks like this:

Here’s the before pic (after I trimmed off the super-bent, leggy stalk, and before I reseated it and bagged it for a month:
