Possible Causes for Yellow Leaves

Incorrect Water Amount
A possible cause is the incorrect amount of water. If the leaves turn yellow and are rather soft, you are probably watering the window leaf too much. If the leaf is rather dry and harder, you should water the plant more.

Too Much Sun or Heat
The window leaf should not be in direct sunlight all day, as the leaves can quickly turn yellow. An optimal location for the plant is bright but not in full sun. High temperatures or too dry air can also cause yellow leaves. In this case, spraying the leaves once a day with some water helps. I've linked a suitable spray bottle here.

If the leaves of your window leaf start rolling up from the tip, a possible cause is too much dry air. In this case, spraying the plant once a day with a water mist helps. I've linked a suitable spray bottle here.

Too Much Sun
Another possible cause is too much sun. The window leaf should not be exposed to direct sunlight all day. A bright location that is not in direct sunlight is optimal.

Too Much Heat
Too much hot air, such as from radiators, can also cause the leaves of your window leaf to roll up. Especially after moving to a hotter place, the leaf edges turn brown.
