My office plant has slowly turned yellow over the past two months. It is on a windowsill that gets bright light, the heating is on in the room every day, and I repotted it with fresh soil in September. Is there anything else I can do or is death just imminent?

Too much bright light, they love the indirect light compared to it full on, looks like sun damage to me

It’s been in the same spot for almost a year and the yellowing is a recent development, would sun damage have shown up earlier than this?

I have a syngonium doing the same. I’ve done everything I could think of. The large plant had to be replanted into a smaller pot. I have clipped off so many yellow dried leaves that it looks really bad. It appears to have a lot of new growth so I’m hoping. Next option is leca. That may be happening in a few days if the yellow leaves continue. Hope someone has a suggestion that I haven’t tried yet.

I think I’m just not meant to have syngoniums! It’s the only variety of plant I reliably kill
