if the lower ones are yellow...just pull the off. gently. it happens
No DONT PULL THEM OFF! Its is due to overwatering with Scotts soil. Those lower leaves are nute burned, they will bounce back. If you remove those then the other leaves will do it to. What you do is let the soil dry out real good, not bone dry. The water the plant with a cup of water every other day, watch your plant carefully for a week or two then water it with one cup water as needed... You can always add more water, its harder to get it out of the soil when you over water.

haha..or you can just over water your plant...
how does your new growth look? are those leaves yellow? are the leaves that are yellowing the first sets of leaves that started growing?

usually nute burn starts at the tips of the plants..if the leaves are curling down i think its a pH thing. if they are clawing up its over fert as well.
