So my Philo Melanchrysum was producing a dead leaf, I carefully removed it, may have been a mistake, this is that growth point now. Is it possible it might be ok? Giving lots of humidity as always.

I’ve had this happen two or three different times. I would say to keep an eye out for pest bugs or the soils staying wet for too long. Those were factors for my plants

Thank you, I'll continue to do that! So far haven't seen any but I'll be treating it at the next watering to be preventative or catch anything to small to see

Hopefully it just turns out to be a fluke ☺️
