Can’t see pot or soil. Plant had 1 brown (dead) leaf and yellow usually indicated overwatering, but all in all plants look really healthy. Make sure your pots have drain holes adequate for size of pots and let at least top 1 1/2 inch of soil to dry out between watering. Good luck they’re nice plants! :))

Thanks for the advice! This pot doesn’t have drainage, but I have placed rocks in the bottom… I know that doesn’t suffice. 😉 I will do a repot with inner plastic pot.
