I have just one leaf that is yellow on my dieffenbachia. Roots are white and look healthy, the pot has drainage and I fertilize about once a month. Is this a bad sign or should I not worry about it since it’s just one leaf? It produced a new leaf a few weeks ago… the plant appears to be healthy. Leave the yellow leaf or cut?

Probably putting that energy into producing new leaves! Nothing to be worried about

Oftentimes old leaves turn yellow and fall off, I wouldn’t worry too much unless you see some newer leaves turning yellow! I personally like to wait until the yellow leaf falls off itself rather than cutting it.

Thank you both!
