Why am I seeing yellowing leaves, along with new growth?

#PrayerPlant
3ft to light, indirect
8” pot with drainage
Last watered 1 year ago
Those leaves appear to be sunburnt. Could it be receiving to much direct light?
@NewPlantMama13 it sits in the corner of my living room. No direct sun at all .
@NewPlantMama13 should I cut those off?
@DestinedOricad yes, once leaves turn yellow like that they won’t come back. It’s also possible for some plants’ leaves to do that to make room for new ones. I highly suggest bottom watering calatheas as to avoid getting water on their leaves.
Might be a nutrition-issue? How is your fertilizing routine?

How is the humidity where the plant is standing? Calatheas require high humidity in the air.

Also could be too much or too little water. Or just wrong water (hard or alkaline?).

How is the soil, and have you repotted him recently and checked the roots?
