Why is my ficus ginseng’s leaves yellowing?

This beautiful baby doesn’t seem to be growing much, and I’ve been watering it at the right times, it has about 2-3 hours of sunlight (direct) and I cannot figure out why it is yellowing! How can I save this! #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #help #Ficus #NewPlantMom @DreamMachine @MariansOasis @nellz4estfairyz @princesspitstop

Winter sunlight is weaker, so it’s often a mix of lower light and soil staying wet longer because growth slows down. Cool drafts or dry air from heaters can also cause some yellowing. Totally normal this time of year. Little less watering and wait for soil to dry more, avoid feeding it as well. It’ll perk back up when spring starts to roll around.
@FamedGymealily this is super helpful! I do often have my heater on in my room so this is really useful!
