Hey I’m new to Planta and plants in general. Is it normal for Swiss cheese plants to have yellow on them?

Yes and no. If the oldest leaf is yellowing, but the plant is pushing new leaves (that are similar in size to previous leaves) then yes. I would pay attention to where leaves are yellowing. Sometimes one side of your plant will yellow from lack of sunlight. It could be improper watering, nutrient deficiency, root rot, or nothing at all. Clear as mud, right?

That’s a lot of yellowing all at once. My bet is root rot. Caused by overwatering. Caused by lack of light.
