Hi aspaluba,
to All Things Plants!
Your plant in question looks to be
Chinese Evergreen (Aglaonema 'Silver Bay') and I agree with drdawg that light is not an issue. Aglaonema's do very well in low light situations as well as bright, indirect light but should never be left in direct sun which can burn the foliage.
I have a few Aglaonema plants and I'm like a some other folks in that I don't use plain potting soil; I mix regular potting soil with a lot of orchid bark mix and sometimes add more perlite to help with drainage. This mixture creates a lightweight, chunky and well draining potting medium which works well for my humid environment. My Chinese Evergreen's have at times done the same thing you are describing with lower leaves turning yellow and dying and when that happened I found that indeed they were staying too wet but yellowing and dropping leaves can also be from the roots drying out from too little moisture. I think no new leaf growth would be normal at this time of year. During the winter months the plants slow down in growth and require a lot less water also. I'd also suggest removing the plant from it's container, shake or rinse off all the soil and take a look at the root system to be sure there aren't any soggy, rotted roots. The amount of roots should determine the size of pot for planting; you don't want a pot too much larger than the root system or the plant will spend it's time trying to fill the pot with roots rather than sprouting new branches and growth above the soil line. But, you don't want a pot that is way too small either which could cause moisture to run off and not get to the roots.
