Whats the science behind why a plant does this? How does the chlorophyll “drain” away from it?


I'm used to seeing plants yellow and wither, or become brown and wither. But what makes them turn pale and wither? It's like the plant has progressive vitiligo. The "vitiligo" also seems to be first selective to various parts of the leaf, then permeate through the entire stem.

    Possibly self pruning of lower/ older/ less productive leaves, so maybe a breakdown and translocation of pigments?
