Welcome to Greg, Cassidy! 😁

It's common for those leaves to yellow if the plant isn't getting enough light or if it drying out too much or being overwatered.

Is the soil moist?

@Picxaal mine does that because it's older leaves. It seems like it's growing just fine and looks super healthy. As long as there are no yellowing leaves anywhere else It's just has no use for them anymore.

@ShannonMHR probably just older leaves so I think you’re right! It’s also all coming from one stalk of the plant so it’s isolated to one area as well.

@Picxaal I let mine actually all my Aglaonema to almost dry out. They can be pretty dramatic when it comes to water. Next time you water make sure the area near the stalk is pretty dry. Maybe it just got more water then the others. I also don't wTer close to the stalks since water will expand thru out. Aglaonema are my favs along with Philos. They are just so gorgeous.

Maybe too much water or not enough

I agree with @ShannonMHR every once in a while my old leaves turn yellow especially when I have a ton of new growth. I also agree with her about letting them dry out completely. Mine threw a fit one time when I watered it and it wasn’t dry enough (lost like 6 leaves) after that I repotted in faster draining soils and she has been happy since.
