The most common cause of general yellowing of the foliage is excess water in the root area, which excludes air and causes the roots to be unable to uptake nutrients. I would do some digging to see what the roots condition is. Al

To get rid of condensation, leave the top off for a while. The soil mix should be *barely* damp, not moist; it takes surprisingly little water to root leaves. As Nancy said, too much moisture encourages rot. As to too many leaves, each should be able to get an adequate amount of light in order to root. If they're too crowded, definitely move some to another container. Good luck. Korina

Thanks again for replying. First thing I'll try and do is get it into a bigger pot. Though finding one is going to be a real issue. I might need to have a barrel sawed in half and have holes cut in the base, because they normally don't make pots this big around here. And yes, Rajasthan is pretty much a desert (the Thar desert), so there is almost no humidity here. Mumbai being near the Arabian sea is very humid. I'll keep you posted about what happens when I've planted it in a bigger pot, though someone suggested the ficus I have which is loosing leaves is showing signs of a sulphur deficiency. Sulphur deficiency is rampant in Indian soils. It wouldn't be a bad idea to supplement with some Sulphur fertiliser, would it? Thanks again.

Re-potted my Chinese Evergreen and now the leaves are turning yellow and it seems like the stems are falling to the sides. The leaves that are dying are along the bottom of the stems
