My fiddle has been having yellow leaves and I’m not sure why. It was growing new leaves pretty often.

It is normal to lose the lower, older leaves.. but it looks like the bottom leaves might not be getting enough light also..

Do you rotate your plant so all sides get light? I turn my fiddle a half turn once a week 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

The leaves look dry/brittle, maybe it’s not getting enough water?

😫 they are not easy care, mine is a little bit all over the place as well, they don’t like to get mist and then have water sitting in the leaves, that will make it burn, they can’t have too much or too little, because the leaves will decay, poor soil, if you just repot, and you played with the roots too much they will lose leaves because they don’t like it where you touch those “private “ parts. It could also be a pest, it could be a water unbalance, or if you change it to a new spot too abruptly. I mean in general anything could cause it to get yellowing, also old leaves tend to get yellow when they’re old
