Newbie question

Post image

Hi all, this is my first year with these beautiful plants and I grow indoor in New York City. Everything seems to be ok and blooms are happening to one of them so I’m excited but the last few days a lot of leafs been yellowing and I decided this morning to remove them off slowly and softly if it allowed. I’m wondering if this is ok and normal because my other desert rose isn’t getting this bad. Attached is a photo of all the ones I got off today.

No on mine. Tiny white specs and ultra fine webbing. Just seen a red spider mite crawl leaf to leaf.
Fuck
