# Hi all, new plant mom here. This was my first plant I got and she was…

Hi all, new plant mom here. This was my first plant I got and she was doing so well at first. I noticed one of her leaves is completely yellow and I’m not sure why. I’ve followed the watering schedule the app recommended and read up on how to maintain her but I’m not sure why it’s yellow. If anyone could give me some insight, thanks!

Dead leaf pluck it off cut back on watering. Do not follow the app totally when it comes to watering your plants always test with your finger or a soil moisture meter before you water. I only check my plants when the app say so but I rarely water them unless they need it

Make sure your pot has good drainage

It's probably over watering, but could be light. Hard to tell from your picture, but it looks kind of like a dark spot.

Older leaves regularly die off. No need to worry unless several leaves are dying at once.
