Just picked up this Diffenbachia this weekend on a pick up truck. Am worried that it’s in shock because some leaves are suddenly turning yellow!

It probably is but it doesn’t mean it’s dying. It takes time to acclimate. leave it be for a little bit. If you continue to see it go down hill then there’s something to be worry about.

Keep an eye on the soil…. Did you get it from a random person or did you buy front a nursery/business?

I got it from someone on Facebook Marketplace. Supposedly had grown from a small plant.

This morning I found another yellow leaf but will keep another eye on it. Thank you so much!
