Yellow leaves on euphorbia Honey Pot

TheGreenMan

Hi. 

I recently purchased and planted a euphorbia honey pot. 

The top tiers of leaves are all praying to the heavens and are a beautiful acid green. 

There are, however, four or five yellow leaves at the bottom of a few of the stems. 

I’ve checked for aphids and it’s all clear. 

Could it be a watering issue? 

The ground is not dry when I push my finger in. Nor is it sopping wet. 

Do I water more? Feed it? Water less? 

Sometimes I wish they could speak. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A picture would help.

Of course. I posted too early sorry

This is normal. They will often just shed their lower leaves, especially after planting.

Don't fuss over it. Water it thoroughly once a week during dry weather until it's established, then it will look after itself.

What a relief @Loxley

I’ve planted about 40 new plants in this new garden and this, touch wood, was the first “issue” I (thought) I had.

10 months on......the yellow leaves are back and are now also red.

Still normal do we think?

GardenerSuze

Yes I think completely normal and growing well.

I would still say normal.

Thanks @GardenerSuze

It's just nice to be able to ask someone and get an answer

The cat isn't bothered!

I think you may find this happening with other plants too. Just the older leaves.
