On your cornstalk Dracaena:
Overwatering: Is it possible youâve overdone it? Browning and yellowing will often happen from the base of the leaf if this is the case, and occur anywhere on the plant. Check the soil before watering and see if itâs moist or dry before watering. If itâs still moist hit the snooze button and the app will remind you again in 3 days.
On your money tree the same thing.
The most common cause of yellowing leaves among Money Trees is improper soil moisture from overwatering in particular. Your Money Tree prefers deep but infrequent watering to maintain consistent soil moisture. When watering your Money Tree, be sure you provide enough water so that liquid flows from the drainage hole at the bottom of the pot and into the saucer.
A money tree needs daily light, but direct sunlight will scorch its leaves. High humidity: The money tree needs moisture just as much as it needs indirect sunlight. Relatively dry roots: Money trees require moist leaves, but their roots must not sit in water
Itâs extremely important to discard any excess water in the saucer and not to let your plant sit in any standing water. Money Trees donât like âwet feet,â which will cause the roots to rot and lead to the eventual death of the plant. Yellow and browning leaves are the first sign that root rot may be occurring.
On your peace lily:
A plant can also be overwatered if the soil doesnât drain quickly enough, or if it is growing in an excessively large container. Peace lilies tend to do better when they are slightly root bound rather than growing in a pot that is too large.
The reason for this is that itâs difficult to provide enough water to the plant without oversaturating the surrounding soil. The extra soil in a large pot holds water and is slow to drain, causing the roots to sit in consistently soggy soil. Since your pot doesnât have drainage I am assuming itâs being overwatered as well. You can always poke holes in your pot since it is plastic to give it drainage.
The top inch of soil should be allowed to dry out between waterings, but that isnât always a reliable indicator. Sometimes the soil below the top inch can remain extremely moist even as the top dries out.
Most often, if no flowers are appearing, the plant is not getting enough light. Peace lilies are very tolerant of low light, but âlow lightâ doesn't mean no light! To encourage flowering, move the plant to a brighter location, where it will receive bright, indirect light for at least a few hours each day.
On your Homalomena houseplants do well in medium to low light exposures but truly thrive in medium light conditions. An over abundance of sun can scorch the foliage, causing burnt spots on the leaves.
Homalomena care will also include a regular watering schedule. Homalomena plants do not like to be dry, nor do they like to be sitting in water. Saturate the soil and be sure to provide good drainage.
Again, Homalomena care dictates a moist but not waterlogged soil. Dry soil will turn the foliage yellow and spartan. Low humidity will cause browning along the leaf edges.
The most common cause of yellowing leaves among Homalomena plants is improper soil moistureâin particular, overwatering. Your Homalomena likes their soil to dry out almost completely before watering again, but once the soil dries be sure to water it thoroughly. If you let the soil sit dry for an extended period of time, it can also cause yellowing leaves.

@KikiGoldblatt thankyou for your reply, it is possible that my peace lily isn't getting enough light so I will try to put it in a brighter spot. And for my other plants, I am always careful concerning the watering schedule, but I'll check the soil more often. However, my money tree really isn't getting much water so it would be verry surprising if it was overwatering, moreover their are some worrying spots on the leaves

Foliar Blight
The Phytophthora palmivora fungus can attack money tree plants, causing dark brown to black water-soaked spots on leaves that turn papery as the disease progresses. Cultural control includes removing infected leaves and debris around the tree, harvesting the nut pods frequently, and thinning the canopy to improve airflow. No recommended fungicides exist for this particular pathogen.
Pests
Mealy bugs are tiny insects that look like small pieces of cotton and suck the sap out of money tree leaves, causing spots that are yellowish-brown, leaf drop, weak stems and slow growth. One tell-tale sign of the bugs is the sticky honeydew substance they leave behind. Scale is a similar type of pest, appearing as small bumpy brown spots that appear to move. When mealy bugs are young and crawling, use sticky traps to catch them. On older insects, spray leaves with a solution of equal parts water, alcohol, liquid soap and mineral oil, and repeat every 10 days for a month. With scale, wipe affected leaves off with a cloth and spray with neem oil.
