New Monstera Deliciosa foliage is pale

This is cold weather here on east coast, but my monstera is growing new foliage however the new leaves are pale and browning at the tips. This is happening to a couple of leaves. During the colder months I have been watering less frequently and only when I feel that the top soil is dry.
Please suggest what am I doing wrong.
Also, the new leaves are not growing as big as I would have liked. I have not repotted since I got it and have also read something about pH balance of soil but dont know much. Please guide.

Thanks
