Halp - our dieffenbachia has been growing like crazy but all of a sudden we’re getting discolored leaves towards the bottom.

Curious someone’s thoughts on what we’re doing wrong.

Yeah it's probably fine. Usually the bottom older leaves die. Its so they can focus its energy on new leaves. I wouldn't worry unless the new leaves turn yellow. Just cut the yellow ones off.

These plants will tend to drop their leaves at the bottom quickly if you don’t get the humidity just right and watering
