Cast Iron Plant yellow leaves

An occasional old outer leaf can yellow naturally. Several leaves fading together or soft leaf bases warrant checking the pot, particularly in a cool, dark position.

Look for trapped runoff

Remove the inner pot from its cover and empty collected water. Let the upper mix dry before watering again; this slow grower may use less water than its pot size suggests.

Inspect roots if yellowing continues with wilt or soft bases. Keep firm green leaves while the plant rebuilds. A bright indirect position supports new leaves without exposing shade-grown blades suddenly to strong sun.
