House plant who's leaves are turning yellow.

We have a plant in the office which, over the past 3 years, has grown really well in the warm environment and been repotted several times, but over the past 4 weeks some of the leaves have started to turn yellow and it's not looking as healthy.  We haven't changed anything so can't work out what's wrong, the only thing we can think of is the temperature may have dropped in the cooler months as it sits in the window.   Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Have a looky at the link below but it could be that it's been getting too cold or even too much sun.

    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Generally it looks a very healthy plant, you're obviously doing all the right things for it.
    Leaves don't last forever, and maybe your plant is just shedding some older less efficient leaves as the days grow shorter.

    That's one of the best looking dieffenbachias I've seen ... and one of the healthiest office plants too :)

    Thankyou Pete.8 and Dovefromabove.  I appreciate your comments, we are complete amatures with plants but we've been doing ok with this one, I'm glad it doesn't look too serious, thanks for your help.
