Hey! I have had this plant for a year now. Recently the bottom leaves have started to turn brown. Should I be concerned about the stems and roots? Is there anything I can do to fix this?

This plant is a couple years old, and these yellow leaves have been there since around then. I put the plant in the sun last year and crisped it so bad I thought it was a goner.

It's a little dry today. I find that I just water the day (or soon) the leaves wrinkle.

I see! So should I be concerned or change anything!

Are the brown leaves squishy or hard?.

They are hard
