Help why is this leaf yellowing? I water with filtered water when top inch is dry and keep the plant 8 feet from an east facing window next to a humidifier.

Probably needs more light. Move it closer to the window, like 1-3 feet away. It could also just be the natural process of the plant shedding it’s oldest leaves

You’re welcome! I still see new growth coming so I wouldn’t be too worried about a yellow leaf here or there

I agree with previous comments wouldn’t worry just yet plant looks healthy and has new growth sometimes leaves just don’t live. But beautiful plant
