Hello, I’ve had this diffenbachia for about 9 months and recently it’s been doing this and I’m not sure what the problem is. Any ideas?

It looks like overwatering to me, but it’s hard to be sure just based on photos alone. Aloha Plant Life has a great video on youtube about how to accurately diagnose plant problems based on the leaves; it’s long but well worth the watch if you can take the time! It’s called “Master the Language of Houseplant Leaves:  
Learn What They're Trying To Tell You.”

Oh I’ll check that out, thank you!
