I have a Alocosia Sinuata that is down to 1 leaf from 3. It is starting to yellow at the tip. I expect this leaf to die off as well. It did this last year because of the colder weather and I expect the same this year. I think it is going into dormancy. Keep doing normal watering. It will bounce back and push new leaves later after winter. That is what mine did.

I always check the roots on my Alicia’s when they start to go down hill. They can be very sensitive to compact soil (not enough aerating amendments). I suggest repotting into a smaller pot, using an aroid/tropical plant mix, and water after the first inch or so of water is drying. I also would suggest bottom watering. I hope this helps
