Why do the leaves of plants become yellow or pale green when they are kept in the dark?
If they are over or under watered they can turn yellow. But if kept in the dark they turn yellow because the chlorophyll (which gives plants its green hue) is unable to absorb energy from light to start the process of photosynthesis. If your plants are turning yellow, try and find a sunnier spot, or get a lamp for it.
