What is happening to my dieffenbachia? Only one leaf looks like this! This plant is 2ft from a window, gets watered, has drainage, and diluted fertilizer.

Is it the oldest leaf? The yellowing happens to mine too

All of my plants are gorgeous but for some reason my diffenbachia leaves continue to yellow 🤷‍♀️

Sometimes it’s just the plant I’ve seen this with my own, keep a eye on it as it’s only one leaf and if the other leaves are healthy then it’s probably nothing to worry about. Best of luck
