Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.

Do you have a photo of the plant? Are the lower leaves turning yellow and then dropping?
Yes yellow then dropping still growing on top and nothing wrong with the other plants
I'm also curious as to whether the plant is pot bound.
Does the ButchT plant have its own container near the other plants?
Are the lower leaves receiving enough light? A plant will drop leaves that are receiving insufficient light. The plant will also drop older leaves if there is a Nitrogen deficiency.
We need more information to determine the cause.
+) ....yellowing leaves are signs of excess water.
Is it also possible that the BT has a heavier potting medium compared to the others?
Or what some people do by mistake is to water the plants more often that seem to be in an
inhibited state of growth. That usually causes root rot and adds to the chance of establishing
a series fungal diseases when high humidity is present.
