Yellowing (both fortunately and unfortunately) can be a sign of many many things. Are the yellow parts crispy? Then it could be under watering or sunburn (if your plant isn’t acclimated to the warmer months and harsher sun). If it doesn’t feel crispy, and feels somewhat limp, then it could be overwatering. If there’s also brown and mushy spots on either the leaves or stems (mush mostly happens on stems), then it’s a sign of root rot and you’ll wanna treat that baby ASAP! Hope this helps!
@PiousWaterfern small note - I’ve just realised that it’s only the bottom bits that are yellow, so it’s unlikely to be sunburn as that obviously affects the whole plant, and the top most leaves seem fine
