My pink princess is doing great, but this one leaf is doing this. It’s by far the best leaf so I don’t want to cut it off. Do I just leave it or is there something I can do? And what might have caused this?

Just leave it, or me it looks like you are overwatering it

Thanks!

Variegated leaves do this because there is no chlorophyll. I just snip off that part when it fully browns

Like you just cut off that chunk? That doesn’t kill the leaf?

Nope, it doesn’t… included a pic of my white knight for reference
