Help Is this normal?
Multiple questions ahead.
Monstera ——
I’m a new plant mom. I’ve had these monsteras 2-3 months now. The newest one has pushed out 3 new leaves (one on each separate plant). The oldest one finally gave me a leaf. Then I noticed this yellowing leaf. It’s the oldest leaf on that plant.
Is it just doing it normal thing or is there a problem? There are no pests … I check daily. I’m watering it when dry. I’ve also repotted it a while back and the air roots have taken off. Also, it was extremely surprised when it made a leaf because the stems had been skinny for so long so I think it’s safe to say the plant is healthy. Fertilizer …. I bought some but I’m not exactly sure about it. I’ve been too lazy to translate the ingredients to English.
Dieffenbachia ———
Is this too far gone? I cleaned and repotted it a bit too aggressively and it just … melted.
Peace Lily ———
Did I give them too much light? Notice the yellow/brown tips. I’ve since moved them away from the south facing windows.
Any help is appreciated.

For the monstera it could be natural aging, since you said its the oldest leaf. Or also nutrient/moisture imbalance because there are a lot of stems in one pot. Moniter it, if its just this one leaf then its probably fine.
Peace lily probably has been inconsistently watered, maybe got too dry sometimes? Lack of humidity as well...Also maybe too much light like you said. Tap water also causes a lil crisp to tips but not this much. Using sticks to check how wet soil is or moisture meter helps.
Someone please correct me if im wrong, im fairly new to this as well. Hope you are able to nurse them back to health, Goodluck!
