# This is Lucy, one of my Philos. Two of her newer leaves have gone…

This is Lucy, one of my Philos. Two of her newer leaves have gone yellow. I’ve been following the watering instructions in Planta, which is watering every 9 days. She is in a south-facing plant window. Is it maybe too bright?

Could it be overwatering? Sometimes planta tells me to water a plant but it’s still wet so I need to snooze it a few more times. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I often find myself snoozing Planta as well. I do wait until it is dried out to water again.

I’m still learning myself, so I don’t have any other ideas 🙈

That’s ok. Thanks for trying! 🙂

Also, yellowing leaves could mean certain nutrient deficiencies. If the younger leaves are turning yellow, it’s a possible iron deficiency. Older leaves yellowing: Magnesium deficiency (or it might be Manganese, don’t remember.) I’d just make sure your philo’s getting the right nourishment!
