The leaf is dying off. It is very common with this plant for a leaf to die off when a new leaf is about to sprout out. Sometimes it can also be related to the soil drying out too much or there is not enough humidity. I hope that helps!

It could be natural aging. It could be fungus gnat larvae eating the roots based on the look of the sticky yellow trap.

I recommend watering every time with Mosqito Bits mixed into the water to control fungus gnats. Mosquito Bits uses the Bti, a friendly bacteria, to kill the larvae in the soil. MICROBE-LIFT BMC Biological Mosquito Control is a liquid version with the same Bti bacteria.
