Is this normal for her? If not then what am I doing wrong...

0ft to light, indirect
7โ€ pot with drainage
Last watered 2 weeks ago
Do you fertilize your plants? I think most times my bottom leaves yellow it's because the soil is missing some nutrients.
That soil is something astronomical. Please do not use that. Best you use a chunky soil mix [like a soilless aroid mix]
The soil, as @araceae pointed out, is the primary culprit with a close second being that pot. Glazed pots can be problematic for plants because they trap moisture, which can lead to overwatering and root rot due to poor airflow and drainage. While beautiful, the non-porous glaze prevents water from evaporating through the sides of the pot like it does with unglazed terracotta, and many glazed pots lack sufficient drainage holes (i know yoy said that it has drainage but i know these kind of pots have pretty minimal functioning drain holes), causing water to accumulate at the bottom.
Also, older leaves do just die off periodically so that the plant has energy for new leaves ๐Ÿƒ
@phytologyfan Thanks for the info, I will definitely change pots and soil.
@Araceae is this what you are talking about?
@FestalCocoplum that doesn't look too bad. It's a good start. Eventually you might wanna do your own mixed [cheaper in general since these premixes can be expensive], but for now it'll be a good start
