This plant the bottom leaf has a bit of orange hue on the outside and the other bottom leaf before that as well. Any ideas what can cause that? No sigh of bugs. It’s a 2-3 feet from a westfacing window.

Totally normal! They tend to come in more orangey, and sometimes as the leaves age youll see the orange become more prominent again.

Oh . Second last bottom one was completely orange and died off . I see it mostly on the edges on this one and the one above. So it’s normal ?

They’ll also turn more orange as the leaves reach the end of their lifespan, but that’s typically several months. Is this happening faster?

#### Lyss replied on 2024-08-10

I’ve had it two months . Just one leaf went orange.

That could definitely still be normal, then. The only other thing you might consider is soil density/watering frequency. How long is the soil taking to dry out?
