Problem with Kris Plant - Yellow Leaf, Purple Stem

[sandywong929]

I have a small Kris Plant. In the recent 2 weeks, one of its leaves has turned yellow, and its stem has turned purple.

I would guess it is not a problem of sunlight or nutrient, for only one of its four leaves has such problem (apparently, the other three leaves are still good).Would it be a problem of pest and diseases? Any hint? Suggestion?

I'm not familiar with this type of plant but sometimes overwatering will cause a leaf to yellow.

Generally, when the plant has become too dry and then given quite alot of water. I don't think you have anything to worry about, though. If you want, you can remove the leaf so the plant doesn't continue to try and support it.

humm... I have once got to a bit too dry before watered it again... This maybe the case...

Vintagejuls, Thanks for your suggestions.

Sandy I feel that pot is perhaps a bit small too support all that plant; perhaps a larger pot will induce vigor? Worth a try...

The Helpful Gardener, thank you for your advice. I have just repotted the plant to a bigger pot. Cheers!
