Yeah, the yellow leaves are nothing to worry about. Just wait till they die off completely, then cut them off. That way the plant can suck all the nutrients out of them before they're removed. Your plant will continue to lose lower leaves as new ones grow from the top, so again, nothing to worry about.

As for watering, I think it was Patty said she keeps a dowel in the soil so she can check the moisture down deeper without disturbing anything too much. I thought that was a pretty great method, so I figured I'd toss that out there.
