House Plants/leaves turning color

Question
why do the leaves on my house plants turn yellow  

Answer
Carol,

It is the result of a watering problem, either too much or too little. How often do you water?  More plants are killed by too much water than by too little. Let me know what they are and I may be able to tell you how often to water. Good luck.
