how were you reviving the yellow leaf? my swiss cheese has gotten a few brown and yellow leaves but it has great drainage, balanced light and i’ve fertilized it often with fermented rice water. what else should I be doing?

My problem was that I left the room too hot before going away for a week. Make sure the room is a good temp and has airflow. I also mist the leaves very often now too

thank you so much!

I don’t think you can revive a yellow leaf…….just chop it and say goodbye

#### Yahtzee replied on 2023-07-22

Depends on how yellow it is. I did it a couple of times with this same leaf

#### Amie206 replied on 2023-07-22

Yes, it depends on how yellow - maybe if it’s just the tips of the leaf, but if an entire leaf turns yellow, from a horticulture standpoint, it won’t be able to turn green again and it’s best to chop it and start looking at why it’s turned yellow. More true if this happens to multiple leaves
