Chinese Money Plant yellow leaves

One old lower leaf can yellow as Pilea peperomioides grows taller. Repeated loss across several levels or pale, weak new leaves calls for checking roots and light.

Water and light checks

Feel below the surface and empty the cover pot. Water when the upper mix dries, wetting the root ball evenly. A dim position slows growth and water use; move toward brighter indirect light.

If the main stem softens or yellowing comes with wilt in wet soil, inspect roots. Remove spent leaves by cutting or easing them off once loose, without tugging at the main stem.
