I just got this pink princess and I accidentally broke one of the leaves off and I just want to make sure it doesn’t die do I need to do anything else with it or can I just leave it alone?

I generally keep an eye on it, and give it a touch every week or so. To see if it's rotting or drying, and I'm able to gently pull the last bit off. This is one on an alocasia i clipped a leaf off. And should be able to remove the rest of the petiole in a day or so. Sometimes the self heading philo, just stay firm though
