    What your seeing is interveinal chlorosis. Essentially it’s a nutrient deficiency causing the yellowing of your leaves in between the veins. You’ll need to identify if it’s older leaves or newer leaves dying first. If older, it’s likely manganese or magnesium. If it’s younger leaves, it’s likely iron.

    It’s worth noting that you also have necrosis around the outsidea of the leaf as well which is typically a sign of other deficiencies as well.

    The easy fix is to just give your plant a little fertilizer. Should start to help after awhile. Your going to unfortunately lose those leaves though.

    Edit: I see that everyone is commenting that it’s a lack of water. I don’t think so. A lack of water will cause the veins of the plant to yellow before the rest of the leaf. In your picture, the veins are green. To me, that means that your plant is pulling nutrients from that leaf to use elsewhere. It’s killing that leaf (by pulling nutrients) to keep the rest of the plant alive and healthy.
