A few older leaves may be retiring

What this suggests
Gradual loss of a few old leaves can be normal when new growth and the rest of the plant remain healthy.

Confirm the clues
• Confirm that only the oldest leaves are affected.
• Check for an expanding pattern, wet soil, or visible pests before calling it normal aging.

What to do now
1. Photograph the plant now and compare the same leaves in a week.
2. Keep the current care routine if moisture and new growth are healthy; remove fully dead leaves.

Hold off on
Do not fertilize solely because one older leaf turns yellow.

What to watch for
If yellowing reaches newer leaves or leaf drop accelerates, restart with “Many leaves” and check moisture.
