Perhaps the pot size is too large and roots are drowning or struggling a bit. This can cause root rot and yellowing or failure of new leaves to thrive as they’re weakest and still trying to establish root structures. I would definitely check the soil

@HeartyAgarito plant is big too. Still do you think pot is large for it. I will definitely check the soil. Thank you for responding.

@DiscipleTagetes Too big to check the soil? Hm in that case you may or may not be dealing with a root bound plant. If so you’ll have to repot in a larger pot so perhaps good to recruit a little help either way!
