I bought a bird of paradise and a Dieffenbachia . Both have dying new leaves . Is it due to a lack of light of overwatering ?

Those are the oldest leaves, so it could just be normal life span of the leaves. If new leaves yellow then there’s an issue.

I will follow the situation then . Thank you

the oldest leaves are always the ones closest to the soil line and it’s normal for them to die off first.
