# Yellow bottom leaf…what’s wrong? I got this propogation a year ago…

Yellow bottom leaf…what’s wrong?  
I got this propogation a year ago and it’s grown about 8 new leaves. The first leaf that came out of the mother propagation is yellow all of a sudden! Is it a nitrogen deficiency?

It looks like it staying too wet. Or being watered too often. These do exceptionally well when left to dry out slightly between waterings. Hopefully no other issues for this guy.

That is very possible. We don’t water it, but it does sit on the window sill in the shower. I’ll be sure it doesn’t get showered on as much and see if that helps. Thanks!
