Why are the leaves turning yellow? I have kept it outdoor but don’t know if it needs to be kept indoor. Any thoughts?

Looks like to hot too much sun or water.

but it’s ok to keep it outside? Might be too hot for it as it’s 29 degree C outside.

Give it nitrogen fertilizer. It can take the heat.

There’s really good information about this plant on The Spruce website “How To Grow And Care For Corn Plant (Dracaena)”. It prefers distilled water, which helped me save my plant that I found sat out as trash. It can sunburn easily too so I’m careful not to leave it in hot sun if I have it outside.
