# Not sure why this guys leaves are yellowing? When I got him there…

_Posted by Plant grow please on 2026-08-13_

Not sure why this guys leaves are yellowing? When I got him there were a few holes but now some of the bottom leaves are yellowing? But also he does have three new leaves coming in. I do have him under a grow light is that to much light? Any help is appreciated!

That soil looks like it’s holding a lot of water , I would try using a chunky soil mix for better drainage

I agree chunkier soil mix  
Also I would love some pictures of the pot it’s in!
