Can anyone tell me why my rhaphi tetrasperma is yellowing at the bottom? Is it bc of them being older leaves? Or is there an issue? Thanks for everyone’s help ahead of time! ☺️

It looks overwatered. Are you letting the soil dry out between waterings?

#### Victoria’s Plants respondió el 2024-05-14

Yes, I let it dry out completely before watering it. I probably water it every 2-3 weeks

Definitely looks like overwatering. Do you have drainage?

#### Victoria’s Plants respondió el 2024-05-14

I do! It’s in a nursery pot with drainage holes. And I dump any excess water that comes out of it and seeps into the ceramic pot

I’d say it’s time to look at the roots then! Remove any mushy rotted roots and spray the root ball with 3% peroxide (you don’t have to dilute or rinse it off).
