Normal leaf retirement

It’s normal for the newest leaf to be lighter green until it hardens off. The oldest leaf turning yellow could be normal, but since you have a cache pot I would double check it’s not sitting in water after you water your plant. Also, do you use fertilizer?

I recently got this cutting and planted it in my custom Airoid mix. Ive watered it once. Soil is moist but not wet. My water day is tomorrow and I do fertilize my other plants once a month.

Oh okay. Sounds like it’s just adjusting then. For my monstera, I skip watering until the soil is dry. Albos have less of a reputation for root rot than Thai Constructions do, but I don’t like to chance it. And mine haven’t been bothered by dry soil as long as I don’t leave it that way for several days
