i'm not sure what question you want answered. i'll give you general houseplant care instructuions and you can ask more questions if you need to.
probably watering improperly and/or not fertilizing on a regular basis. improper watering is uusually the #1 reason for leaf yellowing or plant demise. water by weight. put a saucer under the pot. water and let the plant sit in the excess water for 5-10 minutes. after that time pour off any excess water in the saucer. pick up or lean the pot. it should feel heavy. don't water again until it feels considerably lighter in weight. outdoors check the plant everyday. indoors check it every 3-10 days. watering frequency depends on many factors(sun exposure, type of plant, wind, day temps, etc.).
after so many years yellowing leaves can be a sign that the plant has not been fertilized on a regular basis.  indoors you need to add fertilize on a weekly to monthly basis during the growing season.
get to a local garden center/nursery and quiz them on a solution to your problem.  buy your products from them and they should be more than happy to help you.
good luck.
