Is this normal? My mom’s friend said some of the leaves have been turning yellow and falling off.

I think this is normal, but I wanted to check before I told her something.

Im new to these guys but I’ve heard yellowing \& falling leaves are normal for older leaves . Another factor could be overwatering how often do they water this guy? I’d check for pests as well . That’s normally the first thing I look at in this situation. The plant looks good as a whole though so hopefully it’s just the cycle they go through.

Thank you so much! I figured it was either part of the cycle or overwatering.
