Old leaves are getting yellow and are falling. I thought that it lacks fertilizer, so i added much more but it does not seem to resolve the issue. Should i be concerned ?

Willing to bet it’s feeling more than a bit constrained in that pot.

I would focus more on consistency with watering rather than just throwing nutrients at it. If you feel that you have overfed the plants then some of the available nutrients may get bound up in the soil causing even more problems. Since your plants are in pots, you can flush excess fertilizer from the soil with a really thorough watering. Just don’t water them again after this until they are mostly dry again. I like to collect rain water and flush out my container plants a few times durning the season when start looking a little nutrient locked. I would also recommend trimming off the yellow leaves. They won’t go green again and are just an extra stress for the plant to eliminate on its own.
