# Hi friends! My Cuban oregano (Coleus amboinicus) is having problems!…

_Posted by Dez on 2026-04-18_

Hi friends! My Cuban oregano (Coleus amboinicus) is having problems!

1\. Some young, small leaves are dying off  
2\. Both mature and young leaves are turning pale green or even light yellow

I can’t figure out what the issue is! There are still new leaves growing all over the plant, which implies it isn’t totally dying… What should I do to help the plant? Any ideas?

Thanks in advance! 💚
