# New plant dad here. Just got an Aglaonema tri color pictum, is it…

_Posted by djalexchang on 2025-11-17_

New plant dad here. Just got an Aglaonema tri color pictum, is it normal for a little yellowing to occur on the leaves? (One was all yellow today so I pulled it off)

Just got it a week ago, it’s about 30 inches under my grow light. A couple days after I got it, I bottom watered since the top 2 inches were dry. Let sit for 10 mins until the top soil got moist, and let the excess drain for 20 mins.

Plant is in the same nursery pot I got it in, it has drainage holes on the bottom. Thanks

It might just be adjusting to its new environment. Mine did that too when I first got it

It also could be an older leaf just dying off.
