ZZ plant is losing leaves

My ZZ plant is losing leaves from the tip down. Why? It’s turning yellow from the tip down on one frond – the others are dark green and healthy.

Is the leaflet in question on the bottom? If so, I have read that a small amount of lower leaves turning yellow and falling is considered normal.

However, yellowing leaves on a ZZ plant can be attributed to too much light or too much water. I would review and apply the knowledge found in the following article, which discusses the care of ZZ plants: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/zz-plant/caring-for-zz-plant.htm ^[1]

By the way – you can cut away that leaflet that is turning yellow near the base of a stem.
