Pretty normal. I’ve had mine 5 years and it’ll go through phases. Now, if 10 leaves start turning yellow at the same time then it’s time to look and see what might be wrong.

The fact that it has three new leaves is great and it usually discards the ones at the very bottom over time.

The way the overhead leaf tips look a little scorched, maybe it isn’t receiving enough sun. Beautiful and healthy baby overall. You’re taking great care of it 😊

If you look at the picture of when I first got her on the right that was already there !! I believe the guy said it’s because she needed more humidity!
