# These two yellow leaves are the 5th and 6th to turn and drop within…

_Posted by Kate on 2026-08-13_

These two yellow leaves are the 5th and 6th to turn and drop within the last month, and this has never happened with this plant prior to this. I just transitioned it from soil to LECA this summer, is it still in shock from that transfer? Is there a way to help make the transition easier?

Yess it is likely from the big change to leca. Sometimes it can take months for them to adjust. Other than waiting it out just make sure it's getting plenty of indirect light and you can try increasing the humidity around it too to help it adjust

I also just started some Swiss cheese plant cutting in leca. Hoping for success for both of us! I trust you are still providing nutrients, yes yes?
