My plant looks healthy and happy except for this one leaf! It’s the only leaf from this stem

Do you think it would be best to just cut it off? If so, where? Just the leaf or close to the ground?

You can clip it close to the soil. Looks like it could be a watering issue. Either underwater ong or overwatering. You might want to get a moisture meter. I find it helpful. Others use a chopstick method to see if the soil is moist. Also, remember to use Planta as a guide and check before watering.

Thanks! I’ve been following the Planta app watering recommendations but I do think it seems overwatered. The moisture meter sounds like a great idea, thanks for sharing!
