Hi everyone, nice site, I was just wondering if anyone could help me with this.
My plant has for about 3 weeks now been losing its oldest leaves, the ones at the bottom, they have started to one by one turn pale green, then yellow and eventually to dry up and fall off. The newer leaves are all perfectly healthy. Is this natural, is it just a part of the plants normal growth? or if thier something wrong? Thanks a million, Stiney

Lacking in N which is a mobile element and the plant is taking it from the lower leaves to satisfy the needs of the new growth.Give it some nitrogen,it begging you.
