Anyone have any idea why those two smallest leaves are SO light? I thought maybe a root problem was happening, so I just put her in a new pot and her roots looked great. I would say it's an overwatering issue but if anything, I underwater. I just don't want them to die, she's been doing SO well lately
do you add fertilizer/plant food? my guess would be not enough light / nutrients. underwatering also causes yellowing leaves, yellowing is a result of the plant trying to conserve energy. i’d go ahead and chop the yellow leaves so that your plant can focus its energy on the healthy leaves.

If I have leaves yellowing (not due to a pest/root issue) I’ll usually leave them until I can easily pull them off the plant. The plant will be sucking all the nutrients from that leaf, so I like to let my plants do their thing :)
