I can’t seem to figure out what is happening to my Homalomena plant. The leaves keep getting more and more yellow and dying and I don’t know if she needs water or if she is over watered. Any suggestions?

Yellowing like that usually means overwatering! You should check to see how the roots are doing.

Ok I wasn’t sure if maybe I was over watering or not

Mine is doing the exact same thing!! However I did split her into three plants who all seem very unhappy that I did so. I feel that they are very sensitive to change… hopefully someone knows

I did bring him inside because it got cold at night where I live maybe he is in shock from the change
