Plant leaves turn yellow due to various reasons, including nutrient deficiencies (such as nitrogen or iron), overwatering, underwatering, pests, diseases, or environmental stress (excessive sunlight, low humidity). It is important to identify the specific cause in order to provide the appropriate treatment to help the plant recover.
