Maybe overwatering? I would just cut off those yellow leaves to promote new growth

I water it when this app tells me too 😬

The app is really good but you should always double check the soil. I recently over watered my monstera too following the app. It’s starting to get colder in my area so I’ve recently cut back watering a bit. I’ll hit skip in the app for 2 days if I feel like I should wait a little. Try that and see if that prevents more yellowing

I use the app to remind me to check which plants but it’s always safest to check the soil before actually watering. The snooze feature is great for that.

Yes! I have ADHD and my forgetfulness can be hurtful to my plants. Having Planta is great for reminders, but I usually check as well first using my fingers and I have a water meter.
