Could someone help with my plant. Several of the leaves have turned yellow and started turn brown and just crumpling up I cut off some from the stems but idk why they won't stop turning yellow. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

Maybe overwatering

Thanks I'll try that

I know it’s a hassle but get a water meter if you’re not used to feeling with your finger. I measure mine before watering every time. You’ll never worry about overwatering. Research if they like to dry out before watering or not. I typically let the majority of mine get to the dry side before watering. It’s easier to fix an under water than an over water.

You’re watering it too much. The soil looks wet. Let the top inch or two get dried before watering again.

Same thing happening to my plant!

The other thing I learned about is lime sensitivity. My dumbcane is a little better using distilled water. If you can rain water is good!
