Is the yellowing because of the new growth… or should I go into full panic mode. I’m pleading for some help!!! She’s so tiny and beautiful I’m so scared she’s gonna die!!! I mean look at her! She’s gorgeous!

Ps\*\*\* today was fertilizing and watering day so what else should i be doing….!!!!! I want her to mature soooo bad I mean she’s definitely a baby based on her roots..

Is this a Florida ghost? And do you mean the yellow leaf in the soil or the new leaf coming in? The one in soil looks like it’s just an old one dying off. The new one is a little yellow compared to the new leaves mine gets but looks healthy otherwise!

If it’s an old leaf it’s no biggie if it turns yellow, but it looks like it’s happening at the base. If multiple leaves are turning yellow at the same time, maybe your soil is too heavy/needs better drainage? I repotted mine and put leca balls only at the bottom to help with humidity/drainage control and it’s doing wonders!
