Be best to cut the bad yellow sun burnt leaf off and trim off the brown damaged end bits, give it a light misting and keep away from strong sun light

They’re tropical plants so they need high humidity and don’t like to dry out completely; a humidifier might be a good idea, depending on your environment, to prevent those crispy edges.

The yellowing indicates overwatering or low light. Likely overwatering since the yellowing is only on one leaf. Check for mushy smelly roots indicating root rot. Cut away all rot, if any. Disinfect the roots with hydrogen. Change the soil. Disinfect tools and pot. Water when the soil is almost dry. 🪴🍀
