I need help. The leaves on my little Phil are turning. Not sure what’s going on.

Hmm it could be multiple things, I understand it’s hard to tell with yellowing leaves. It could be over/under watering, or maybe a bug issue that’s hard to see. I would recommend wiping the leaves down with some neem oil solution once a week or more depending on if it’s needed. Sometimes as extra measure, I’ll spray a little on the top soil and then water it down by watering it like normal on top of the soil so it washes it down. Adding some fertilizer or plant food every 2 weeks or month will help too. I hope this helps!
