I got this plant off the clearance rack a few months ago. I brought her back to life but now i'm losing her again. She's in a mixed soil- Orchid bark, perlite, and organic potting soil. I water her weekly (sometimes a little longer than a week). Each new leaves has been yellow and the bottom leaves are super droopy. What do I do :(
What type of plant is it? How are the light conditions? Yellow saggy leaves may be due to over watering. Does your pot have drainage holes? If your plant is sitting in water it can get root rot. In order of importance for plant care soil is the third most important behind water and light, so I would assess those factors first the soil seems fine

I think your diffenbachia or dumb cane looks fine. These do love a lot of bright indirect light! You have new growth which is good. It’s normal for the oldest leaves towards the bottom to eventually die off. Regular watering (allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out between waterings), and moderate to high humidity. They prefer temperatures between 60-80°F (15-27°C) and should be kept away from drafts and sudden temperature change. Is it close to AC or Heat register? Outside doors?

I have one of these just a different variation! I give her bright indirect sun, I mist her for humidity, and I water her whenever the soil is slightly dry so every 1-2 weeks. I have noticed that as it grows the smaller lower leaves tend to droop, turn yellow, and die. I believe that it’s normal due to the good condition of the plant!
I have two of these type plants. They were doing well for a long while and then (what seemed like) out of the blue they started drooping and dying. I threw them outside in the humid southern air and they’re thriving now 🤷🏻♀️
