Hey guys, can anyone please advice why the leaves are turning yellow. I think this is diffenbchia plant, its still in the pot i got it from walmart , have not repotted it. I bought it few weeks ago. I usually keep it beside the window in the living room but i don’t get to much sunlight as my apartment is in the backside, hardly get sun for like 2 hours before the Sun set.

Best thing to do is repot to find out! That soil probably isn’t great anyway. Repotting will allow you to control \& understand your substrate, and get a look at the root system

Walmart plant dirt isn’t the best in my opinion so even if I keep same pot I like to clean theirs out and off roots and use a different mix that has more aeration/drainage. Theirs seems to hold a lot of water like something id use for an outdoor plant/flower
