Yellow leaves aren’t always a reason to panic, and can be a normal part of a plant’s life cycle. Unless brand new leaves are turning yellow or all the leaves change color at once, it’s likely just your plant shedding old leaves.

Finally, consider environmental factors like temperature and humidity, and adjust care routines accordingly to revive your plant.
