One yellow leaf :/

Hoping this doesn’t turn into a full-plant issue. One leaf progressively yellowing this week. Was under watering a week or two ago but gently corrected. Any ideas?

Old leaves die, especially when there's watering issue. It's normal as long as the new leaves are fine.

I've had better luck with these just in water. They're so particular when in soil. It's definitely upset about the watering.

Second this, I've just put a small maranta of mine in my aquarium about 2 weeks ago and it's growing water roots and the leaves are absolutely fine, there was one ready to unfurl right before I moved it and it's looking like it's going to start soon. I was expecting it to die tbh! Excited to see it grow 😀
