Hi everyone! I am new to the plant world and I recently brought a Monstera plant. I watered about a week ago and I have a sun lamp but this small leaf has turned yellow. All other leaves on the plant looks good. Any thoughts?

The rest of the plant looks pretty healthy so it could be:  
\- Smaller plant that lost to the competition of having several in one pot  
\- just old leaf die off

I agree, just looks like older leaf die off
