Seems like a watering issue. Make sure that the pot has drainage, and that the top 1-2 inches of soil is completely dry before you water thoroughly.

The pot def has drainage. Do you think it could be the humidity? Maybe it’s not getting enough.

is it new? it might just be acclimating to its new environment

#### Caitlin D replied on 2023-08-17

No it’s not new. I’ve had it for about a month

#### Lalo Vera replied on 2023-08-17

that’s still new! if it was humidity i would expect the leaves to crisp, not yellow. prob is still adjusting to life in a house not a greenhouse.

#### Caitlin D replied on 2023-08-18

Well one is a bit crispy but the others are soft and yellow it

If it’s soft and yellow it’s most likely overwatering! Make sure the soil dries out before rewatering her!
