The leaves on my rubber plant are turning yellow, starting from the base up. Any ideas what it could be? I’m pretty sure I’m not overwatering, that’s usually my first mistake.

It’s gets a couple hours of direct light and good indirect light.

It’s normal for plants to lose their oldest leaves as they age. If it’s just the oldest leaves and not all over the plant and the rest of the plant is healthy, it’s doing fine.

Sounds good I’ll keep an eye on it. Thanks!
