Do yellow leaves of a plant serve any purpose?

Asked by mazingerz88 (29127points) 14 hours ago from iPhone

I just repotted a Chinese money plant due to what I estimated as solution for the yellowing of many of its leaves. None of the yellow leaves are falling off. Should they stay or go? Thank you!

I understood yellow leaves (in general, not necessarily Chinese plants) to mean overwatering.

@elbanditoroso and @mazingerz88 also can mean not enough light.

You can remove them.

It’s also normal for leaves near the bottom of the plant to yellow due to old age, and they can be clipped off.
