Tiger Jaw discoloration.

As its first blossom wilts, this leaf (bottom left) is discoloring. Is this normal, or a sign that im giving it the wrong amount of something?

You can see in the second photo that it had already started when the blossom was full, but i didnt notice it until now.

Looks healthy. It’s normal for the lower leaves to die off like an aloe. I remove them if they come off easily.

Agreed, though it does look like it might be in too big of a pot given its size, so it’s possible it’s sitting in too much water than in can handle, even if it’s bottom-watered. The mixture looks chunky enough so I don’t think it’s the soil, so if you wanna try anything different, I would put it in a smaller pot that’s better suited for the size of the root ball. Hope this helps!

You’re probably right about overwatering. I had been shy to touch it, but the leaf was mushy, so i removed it. Ill cut back its watering schedule a bit while i consider alternative potting for it and several others. Thanks!
