Paul,

The yellowing leaf looks like the result of the natural aging process. Most evergreen plants keep their leaves for two years and as they draw back some of the nutrients into themselves the yellowing you see begins. I would just let it finish it's life and remove that yellowing leaf when you can not stand looking at it.

Your plant looks very healthy. It has new leaves emerging. They only thing I would advise you to do is remove the old soil every 3-4 years (by washing it off) and reppot it with new good quality soil. I would say you are doing all the right things for your plant.

I no longer have any house plants since I live in torpical Florida>
