# Hi all, I have a silver sword that is putting out tons of new growth…

_Posted by Tara 🪴👶🏻 on 2023-12-28_

Hi all,  
I have a silver sword that is putting out tons of new growth (it was grown from some cuttings off my son’s plant). However the older the leaves get, they appear to be yellowing. Any idea what’s causing it? It sits under full spectrum lighting and is watered when the soil is dry. I’ve actually skipped waterings suggested by the app because it was still wet.

Old leaves can turn yellow. Might be from the stress on propagating and reporting. With all that  
New growth going on, I wouldn’t worry.
