Please help diagnose these yellow leaves! they started appearing about 1-2 weeks ago. This is a plant I started propagated (2-3 months ago) then moved into soil. it's been doing well, sprouting new leaves even, but some of the older ones have been turning quite yellow.

#### irene replied on 2024-12-07

don't think so, at least the leaves look clean

i’m not sure what it is but if I had to guess I would maybe say fungal infection

I’m not sure if you fertilize. But when my pls t babies have the yellow brown in them I know it’s time for a feeding. Usually I’m pretty good at it.(every other week) or monthly in the slow growing months depending on the plant. I use the liquid fertilizer from miracle grow. 1 pump for a half gallon for small plants the big plants get 3 pumps and gallon of water. I hope that helps!!
