What is happening with my plant? Why are the leaves “yellowing” and the actual leaves have some “yellowing “ too. I swear… I am doing everything I was told but somehow it’s not good enough

Plants can be picky little things even when we’re giving them all the ‘right’ care. From the photo, your plant itself actually looks okay! The yellowing leaves at the bottom are pretty normal, but the soil looks really compacted and not draining well. I’d swap it out for a fresher, chunkier mix so the roots can breathe. You’re doing fine, just a small soil refresh should help a lot 🌱☺️

☝️ I agree. Also, the newer leaves turning yellow may be a sign of overwatering solved by …. (See prior comment). 💚 🪴

I water it once a week or when I see the soil dry. I go to Home Depot and the people there aren’t as knowledgeable and so that isn’t always helpful. Can you send a pic of what type of soil I should be buying? I went to HD yesterday and the staff person told me they could not help me🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️… I knowwww THANKS SOOOO MUCH!
