Yellow leave, do I remove and where?

#Monstera
1ft to light, indirect
9” pot with drainage
Last watered 5 days ago
i just read an article that said it is best not to remove yellowing leaves early. the plant may be using its nutrients to fuel new growth. but i have no experience with monsteras. if you want to read the article, the link is below. it was first posted by @Seymour and maybe he can give you more help

I watched a video saying the same so I've left it for right now.

Thank you!
Sometimes there is too much salt buildup in the soil. If you can place the plant in the tub and rinse out the soil with plain water, let it drain out every time and do that a couple of times. Remove all excess water before putting it back. It’s good to do this about every 6 months with all your plants! Hope this helps! πŸ¦‹πŸŒ»πŸͺ΄πŸŒΈπŸž
Remove if you prefer β€” no need to keep on board a dying leaf it’s not producing any nutrients anymore just taking them
I hate yellowing leaves and remove all of one immediately just snip with shears sanitized with alcohol near base of stem
I waited until a new leaf popped up then ended up snipping the yellowing one!
