Yellowing leaves
Hi! I'm new here, first time posting.
I got this gorgeous Ctenanthe last week as a birthday gift from my husband. He got it from Trader Joes. I am not familiar with this type of plant at all.
I noticed it has yellowing leaves, it did come like that to be fair. I sprayed it neem oil when I first brought it home.
How do I cut the sickly leaves off? How do I propagate these? Best lighting for it?

@pufflecups Hi Cristen and welcome to the #GregGang . In my experience with this type of plant, they require higher than normal humidity levels and bright indirect light. Also keep the soil moist but not saturated, using distilled, filtered or rain water would be ideal. This type of plant can be very needy and is not really a beginner friendly plant. But don’t get discouraged, we’re here to help.
