# Anyone know why these leaves at the bottom of this Zz plant are…

_Posted by Mary on 2023-10-02_

Anyone know why these leaves at the bottom of this Zz plant are turning yellow after I bought it only a week ago? I did go ahead and water it once, but it’s been dry since then. Is it too much light, or does it just need time to adjust?

Okay thanks, maybe I won’t stress about it yet then. They were so green and lush when I bought it…

Yeah, it’s probably just moving stress :) cut the two leaves off so the energy goes to the rest of the plant tho.
