Why are my leaves going yellow?

hi all
This cutting is around 3months old now and was sitting on the window sill inside the house. It wasnt doing much as its winter now and i guess at night it gets pretty cold still so i didnt see much root growth in the cup. It was too tall for my DIY humidity so i didnt put it in earlier. But few days ago i did some upgrade and made the box slightly higher so i could just fit this cutting in. The leaves are probably 1 to 2cm away from the top. Before putting it in the leaves were very healthy and green and now its yellow. I noticed a bit of it turning yellow the next day and it has since continued the pic below. The tub is set to 23c / 74f. On a positive note i can now see a few tiny hair like roots against the cup.
thanks

Could it be that you might be over watering it? Does not seem to be wilting. That is a good sign. It will most likely grow a new flush of leaves. Be patient and give it time. In the future when making changes to the environment of your rooted cuttings. Make sure you take baby steps in order to acclimate them safely. Best of luck to you.

i didnt think it would be over watered bc i had not watered it much. But im new so i could be wrong haha. Prior to adding it in i had not water it for like 5 days and i only water 10ml before putting it in the tub. I usually water it 10 to 20ml a week and its in a 500ml cup. Also want to add it had that slight curl to the leaf prior going yellow. The leaf structure looks the same its just yellow now

First year im finding everything hard to judge though haha
so i could be over watering.

At the moment everything in the humidity tub i have been doing 10ml water per cup every 3-4 days or so depending on how much condensation i see on the cup side..
But in the past couple of weeks it has good roots and leafing i am also doing 50ml of seasol once a week. Its in fairly loose medium and i wait till most of it is drained before chucking them back into the humidity box. The one that has yellow leaf i have only done that once which was yesterday and it was already yellow like this.

what are peoples watering regime?? im worried i am over watering and then at times i think im not watering enough...
