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.

      She does get fertilizer in her water whenever I get told to. I took them off, hopefully she can support new leaves in the future

    As a plant matures it will “kill” off the older/smaller leaves, especially the immature ones at the beginning. Your plant looks perfectly fine and is doing exactly what it should. 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 :)
