5. Why are the leaves on my yesterday today and tomorrow plant turning yellow?

There are several potential reasons why the leaves on your yesterday today and tomorrow plant (Brunfelsia pauciflora) might be turning yellow. Here are the most common culprits:

Watering:

• Overwatering: This is the most likely cause of yellowing leaves. Yellowing often starts on the lower leaves and moves upwards. The soil might feel soggy, and the plant may wilt or drop leaves.
• Underwatering: While less common, underwatering can also cause yellowing, especially on older leaves. The leaves might feel dry and brittle, and the plant may appear wilted.

Soil:

• Nutrient deficiency: If your plant lacks essential nutrients like nitrogen, potassium, or magnesium, its leaves might start to yellow.
• Poor drainage: If the soil doesn't drain well, it can lead to root rot, which can manifest as yellowing leaves.

Other factors:

Sunlight: Too much direct sun, especially in hot climates, can burn the leaves and cause them to yellow.

Pests and diseases: Insect infestations or fungal diseases can also cause leaves to yellow.

Extreme temperatures: Sudden changes in temperature or harsh freezes can stress the plant and cause leaf yellowing.
