Why are the leaves turning yellow??

#Dieffenbachia
3ft to light, indirect
6” pot with drainage
Last watered 5 days ago
Hi, usually one of three things happen: they are stressed by overwatering, improper light, or natural aging.
Could you send a better picture of the effected areas?
I’m with @Succulent_Soul Looking at the picture you have more going on with the edges turning up .
It could have to do with how often your watering it.
Thanks, I’ll look into it. I water it at least once a week
@NewMingthing85 You shouldn’t have to water once a week. I have two and they’re highly sensitive to to much or two little water. Wait to water till the soil is dry two to three inches down . Don’t have a water meter you can use any type of stick too check . If it comes out with soil stuck to it dont water. When it comes back out clean it’s time to water. I water mine every 7 to 9 days but will tell you if off a day or two I get yellow leaves .
