I’m having trouble with discoloring and wilting of one leaf, then another. I am thinking it’s from underwatering. Do I remove these troubled leaves ? What do I do?

Check the roots to see if it needs a repot from being root bound. I’ve only grown it in a garden and they spread like grass carpet the area around them. That’s why I’m wondering if it needs repotting.

Also, insufficient light can cause yellow leaves. They can live in full sun outside. There should be sufficient lighting if that’s a south facing window. Add a grow light if needed.

i’ve heard to leave the dying leaves until they fall off or are dried up because the plant is sucking up the nutrients from that leaf before it dies. not sure if it’s true.
