I got this Alocaisia Melo from Trader Joe’s a few weeks ago and the leaves are turning… What am I doing wrong ?

How’s the water and lighting? She’s got beautiful leaves, so just snip that yellow one off. Google your plant and you’ll get so much info on care

Looks like a sign of overwatering. This happened to my heart pathos I inherited to rehabilitate. The new soil I placed it in really holds moisture so I had to use my meter and adjust Planta accordingly. Then moved to better lighting hoping it will help balance the issue.
