Hi all! This guy is a prop I put into soil a few months back. It's been doing great - lots of lovely new leaves. Recently it's started turning yellow from the bottom up and I lost the lowest two leaves already. I'm not sure what happened/changed - no new fertilizer, nothing. Any ideas?

It doesn’t appear that you have a nursery pot but I would suspect root rot. Pull it out now. If it is black and or stinky, you should cut away the black stuff and douse the roots in hydrogen peroxide. If that takes off all your root, start again with a water propagation.
