I just got this plant and the leaves are turning yellow w...

#Dieffenbachia
0ft to light, indirect
10โ€ pot with drainage
Last watered 6 days ago
I would make sure that pot has good drainage, remove the yellowing leaves, and see how it goes! Keep an eye on him for two weeks and if you have more yellowing I would try another location. Sometimes the fun part is trial and error and learning what works. Best wishes!
Mine did this twice for two different reasons. The first time, it started yellowing because the pot was way too big for the root system. After I repotted it into a more appropriately sized pot with fresh soil, it yellowed again because I kept moving it around trying to find the "perfect" spot.
Once I put it in my south-facing window with bright, indirect light and left it alone for about 3โ€“4 weeks, it stopped yellowing and started pushing out new leaves. I'd also go ahead and remove the yellow leaves since they won't turn green again. Hopefully yours just needs a little time to adjust.
