Why Has My Scimia Leaves Turned Yellow

Question

some leaves have started to fall off

Answer 1

This can happen for a few reasons. This needs to be planted in a very shady spot. Too much sun will cause yellowing leaves.

Soil that is not acidic enough will lock out nutrients. This can, also, lead to yellowing leaves.

Make sure that the plant is not buried too deep or too shallow. This can cause problems as well.
