Hey y’all! Please help! My pictum tricolor has yellowing leaves. I keep it in a terrarium to help with humidity and it gets 12 hours under a grow light. I last watered it 7 days ago and the top and bottom soil is still damp. What do I need to do stop the yellowing leaves? I took it out of its nursery pot and there’s no root rot. The AI diagnosis said it’s being overwatered and to take it out for an hour so the roots can dry a bit then repot it. Is that the right suggestion? TIA! 🫶🏽

I'd remove it from the terrarium, they like water but it's not being able to guttate properly. And shouldn't be that damp after 7 days

Yes it sounds like AI is right , overwatering. Cut that leaf off and let it dry out alittle. .
