# Hey guys recently noticed some yellow on the top mid plants and now…

_Posted by Cassie on 2025-07-23_

Hey guys recently noticed some yellow on the top mid plants and now this one is turning brown, initially thought she was getting too much sun so I moved her but the brown spot was not there 2 days ago. What can I do to help her?

It could be root rot. When the leaves on my plants turn yellow it usually means I’ve overwatered them. Take the plant out of the soil and look for black roots. Remove the black roots and the affected leaves and plant in completely new dry soil and don’t water it for a little bit.

Thank you 🫶🏽

It might be a bit overwatered. Like Caroline said maybe check for root rot.

This looks like overwatering. Yellowing around the leaf edges is a prime indicator. If you see more spots with browning and yellow hallow id treat with a fungicide

Agreed 💯 with what these folks have said. She’s definitely overwatered. Fungicide… yes. But do check the roots first. Pull her out of that soil and giver her roots a check and then repot with dryer soil…. (I just mix some dry in with the wet really good to even the moisture content out as long as there’s no rot. Fresh new soil if rot is present)

Thank you girls I will definitely post a picture here later today of her roots.

### Cassie commented on 2025-07-24

Roots look good to me, but I’ve never seen root rot
