# The leaves on my cheese plant have recently started to turn yellow…

_Posted by EMcD on 2025-12-11_

The leaves on my cheese plant have recently started to turn yellow and die. I've got no clue if I'm over watering, under watering... I did just repot it within the last few months, and had to cut it out of it's pot, so I don't know if it's fallout from that? Any ideas or advice much appreciated!
