Looks like the older leaves are just dying off

Mine does that if I wait a little too long to water it. New leaves are good though! Maybe water a little more frequently so it’s living it’s best life

### LearningPlantMom commented on 2023-06-24

The yellow leaves are probably caused by the stress of the new growth

Yup. Gotta lose some to gain some. 🤭 I call those sacrificial leaves. They volunteered as Tribute so the new ones could grow.

Mine does that if I wait to long between watering! Just water a bit more often 😊
