Check the roots! When mine did that, it had root rot. I tried to save it, but it died. I now have a new one.

Holding my breath, thank you!

Once they turn yellow they don't get better. Just cut it off at the bottom so the plant doesn't focus its energy trying to save that leaf. Then it can focus on a new leaf..
