I have a few new leaves on this dwarf banana “Tropicana” but the bottom leaves are yellowing. Is that expected as it keeps growing, am I overwatering? TIA!

A few older leaves yellowing is nothing to worry about, as the plant grows it’ll expend those older leaves to get more energy for new leaves. You’re doing a great job don’t worry :)

Thank you! I’m an inexperienced plant mom, just wanna do right by them 🥲
