What’s going on?!
All of these plants are slowly yellowing and wilting/rotting. I tried to stop people from watering them and so far I don’t think anybody has. But they are still rapidly becoming more yellow. 🥲How can Ifix this asap? I’d appreciate any advice 😊

@FullYuzutree45 hi 👋🏽 here are some thoughts but each plant is different! I’d say they’re overwatered for 1st sight.
1) what kind of water are you using?
2) are there getting direct sunlight?
4) have you fertilized them lately?
Here are some tips!
Overwatering: Soggy soil suffocates the roots and causes root rot, which stops the plant from absorbing water and nutrients.
Underwatering: Extreme dryness stresses the plant, forcing it to sacrifice older leaves to save moisture.
Light and EnvironmentDirect sunlight: Harsh, direct sun burns the delicate leaves and bleaches them yellow or transparent.
Temperature swings: Cold drafts from windows or air conditioning units shock the foliage.Water Quality and PestsTap water sensitivity: High levels of fluoride, chlorine, or salts in tap water can cause marginal yellowing and leaf burn.
Pests: Tiny bugs like spider mites suck the sap from leaves, causing yellow stippling and discoloration (as users on r/plantclinic note).
Natural aging: The lowest, oldest leaves naturally turn yellow and die as the plant grows.
I’d check for root rot, let them completely dry out. Maybe change your soil to a quick draining soil and do not use tap water!!!
I use a britta water filtration system or distilled water. Hope this helps 🙏🏽
