It could be in the wrong type of soil…. And bad watering schedule

Can also be going through the cycle and doesn’t need that leaf abymore

Is this the only yellow leaf or were there more? And if there were, were they lower and older foliage? Sometimes one or two older yellow leaves is a normal part of the plants life cycle, especially if it’s putting out new leaves!

There were two yellow ones and they were smaller and lower in the plant

Okay yeah so they were likely some of your plants original leaves! I would say that as long as the newer and larger foliage stays green and healthy to not worry! Your plant is just shedding off the old so it can have energy focused toward larger and newer leaves:)
