I got a Dieffenbachia camouflage a few days ago and the leaves (2) are already turning yellow, it’s placed in the kitchen/living room with no direct contact to sunlight, what am I doing wrong :( ? Last time it was watered was 2 days ago (soil was dry ish)

Yellowing could be from overwatering, poor drainage, old leaves, lack of light, pests, etc. a number of things. I use the app as a guide but still check the soil before watering. Check the soil and mix it up a bit if it is too wet or compact and let it dry more before watering again. It is normal though for this type of plant to shed leaves.
