# I have checked for spider mites, don’t have this plant in direct sun…

_Smartyplants님이 2024-04-11에 게시함_

I have checked for spider mites, don’t have this plant in direct sun but enough I feel it needs, and don’t feel like im overwatering it… so what do you think is the issue with this leaf? I’m so sad and feel so lost because I can’t figure it out. It’s even more yellow today, it continues to spread. 😩

Maybe the soil is low on nutrients? I occasionally put coffee grounds or eggshells in my plants- also a little bit of any vegetable water I have left after boiling veggies(let it cool down ofc). Since I’ve done that I have A LOT less inexplicable yellowing leaves. (Just a suggestion from an amateur- I’m no expert)

Egg shells take many years to break down to contribute calcium to soil. I wouldn’t add coffee grounds to this plant, the acidity spike might be harmful

Are you fertilizing this? I see you’re in FL and that this might be near an AC? Bright indirect/filtered light is best. These are sensitive to abrupt changes in temperature. Could it be that?

It is near an AC vent!

I would start by moving it away from that. Had it been repotted recently? It is just this leaf or are they all starting to turn?

#### Smartyplants님이 2024-04-11에 답변했습니다.

I fertilized it 3 days ago!!

Was it yellow prior to fertilizing? Sometimes this can be a result of over-fertilizing.

Just one leaf! We did repot when we saw the leaf drooping and thought it might be an underlying issue so we took it out to check the roots.
