Building off of last week's lesson about overwatering, Cheryl asks about why leaves turn yellow when "bad" things happen to the plant and whether or not it's connected to why leaves change color in the fall. To answer the question Cheryl will need to remember what she learned about pigments and see if she can remember a bit about photosynthesis. &nbsp;
