it might be a older leaf

#### Lina replied on 2024-04-08

Ok what happens to the older leaves sorry a real plant novice here!

### budthegoat28 commented on 2024-04-08

as the plant gets bigger the older leaves die off

### budthegoat28 commented on 2024-04-08

#### Lina replied on 2024-04-08

No it is Aglaonema Commutatum

### budthegoat28 commented on 2024-04-08

The most common cause of yellowing leaves among Aglaonemas is improper soil moisture–in particular, overwatering. Only water your Aglaonema when 50% of the soil volume is dry. In the winter, you can allow your plant to dry out a little more between waterings. thats what google says

Ok thank you I’ve just watered it thinking it maybe under-watering! Thanks for the advice I’ll do as suggested.
