Am I overwatering? It's still wintery and cold outside, and I water on like a 7-9 day interval. Yellowing started recently, any ideas?

probably overwatering. always check the soil before you water. at least 2 inches of the soil should be dry before you water again, which takes longer in the winter, because the plant isn't focused on growing.

Overwatering or too close to a drafty/cold window?
