Hey!

I just bought this White Knight two days ago, she has this leaf that looks… well you can see it.

I’m wondering what the best plan of action is - any tips or advice is welcome💚

TBH I would just cut that leaf off.

Mine has put out some strange leaves. Not unusual with a Knight. Some people refer to the coloring as burgundy. I think it’s more brown. I let it grow. It may darken into more of a green as it gets older. I started using a silica supplement quite a while ago and think it helps a lot with the variegated plants.

it may be a bit overwatered, but besides that, it's normal for new leaves to be lighter in color than the older ones. the leaf will harden and darken in color as it matures
