Hello, friend! 👋 There's no need to tear anything off! Yellow leaves are necessary for the plant! Where there's little light, the leaves turn yellow, dry out, and fall off. This is normal for a plant in its mature age! Don't remove the leaves; the plant relies on their presence! When the plant no longer needs them, the girl will let the leaf go herself. Your only job is to lift it off the surface of the substrate and throw it away! 👌 Good luck, bro! ✊😇
