I got this clipping of a Chinese Evergreen about a month ago and repotted it. Two of the leaves are yellowing! Should I clip them off? If so, how far down should I clip?

I like to clip mine just so the plant can work on the healthier leaves. Clip as close to the stalk as possible if you go that route!

How often do you water?

#### Lee ha risposto il 2025-02-16

I’ve been following the once a week routine that the person who gave me the plant followed with theirs

It’s tricky because it’s adjusting to your home environment and that’s gonna be different from your friends. I’d check its roots to be sure but it looks like overwatering

You can trim the yellow leaves right close to the stem. I would not just follow there once a week watering routine. Your house could be different than theirs, temperature, drafts.. check the pot see if it's moist before you water it.
