I don’t think they like SG aftnoon sun honestly. Position it somewhere along the rack maybe? Just squeeze it such that it doesn't get as much light. These few days the rain also jialat, so reduce watering a bit. The soil has tp be halfway dry then you water
I agree the post above ⬆️ and I’d say your leaves πŸƒ look like they’ve got some a little too much water, is your potting mix a good draining one?
Okok thanks guyss
Hi Jayden πŸ‘‹ I love your balcony!! 😍

I don't know the Everfresh tree very well (I'm in the UK, so quite a long way from you! πŸ˜‚) but from a quick research it seems they LOVE sunshine! 🌞 I wouldn't worry too much about morning/ evening sun... Generally speaking most plants can tolerate a few hours of either (when it's not too strong). Midday sun may be more of an issue... But you can start them off in a spot that gets shade at midday and gradually move them into more and more direct sunlight over the course of a few weeks, so they acclimatise gradually. That should lower the chances of them getting sunburned, but just keep an eye on them and move them back to a more shady spot if they look like their getting scorched at all πŸ’š they won't like living too much in the shade, so I would go for the sunnier spot 😎 they can drop leaves of they don't get enough sun!

They don't like "wet feet" so you'll want to let the soil dry well between waterings. When you do water, really soak them well (so it runs out of the drainage holes) and then leave them to dry out again πŸ₯°

They will prefer a fast draining soil, so adding perlite to your potting mix (as a minimum! You can add things like pumice, orchid bark, Coco chips etc too if you like) is a good move!

Yellow leaves will be caused by overwatering more often than not as they're very sensitive to soggy soil! But unless you have new leaves turning yellow or a lot all at once, you should be ok. If it continues you can always take them out of their pits and check for root rot (but they look pretty healthy to me in the pictures πŸ’š)

There's a brief Greg guide to keeping them happy that I found. It's not very detailed but hopefully it'll help a bit. https://greg.app/plant-care/pithecellobium-confertum-everfresh-tree xx
