Help :( why are her leaves yellow. I watered a week ago(5/12) from today (5/19). Feels light enough to water. Does she just need a drink?

May need more light. Could need fertilizer. When was the last time you fertilized? Has it out grown its pot? Do you have mites or any bugs that you can see? It may also be getting rid of old leaves. I have a monkey mask to and it does a good job of keeping new leaves fresh and old ones till it doesn’t anymore.

I have her for 3 weeks. Still in the nursery pot. No visible mites or bugs. Thanks for asking !

It probably needs new soil or has out grown the nursery pot. And also riding of old leaves.

Are these new leaves or old leaves?

#### hxylxy replied on 2025-05-20

I have had the plant for 3 week so I’m not sure !

Oh! Well that will do it! Plants panic and take damage when theyre in a new place, its impossible to replicate their home exactly and theyll always have little problems. The fact it killed off the little ones is a good sign for the big ones. Just prune them off and continue as normal.
