Option #1 Heat Stress, if you move a plant to a new location, you will see leaf yellowing. Your plant needs to adjust/adapt to the new location so leaf yellowing is part of the processMore pics of my issue.
For example, if you move a plant into more sun, the leaves may be stressed. The plant "knows" the current leaves can't withstand the increase in sun sun and so, in defense, grows new leaves that can handle the new exposure..
#2
Sudden unexpected cold
If a plant is used to suitable conditions then cold comes in, leaf yellowing and leaf drop is common...
#3 The most likely cause..
The reason why leaves are turning yellow could be an abnormal condition called chlorosis. Chlorosis is when the yellow leaves are missing the green pigment called chlorophyll. There are specific causes why plant leaves turn yellow due to chlorosis. The reasons why leaves are turning yellow could be from damaged roots, roots that are compacted too tightly in the container or nutrient deficiencies. These things can be corrected with ease with repotting or adding fertilizer. Im guessing your lacking in some trace nuets..
Sulfur, calcium and magnesium are usually found in tap water. If the water has too little general hardness (< 3 degrees dH), calcium and/or magnesium may be in short supply. This can be remedied by adding calcium and magnesium sulfate in small quantities.
