Help! I’ve had this Polly for 2 months (lost some smaller after I first got it) and still haven’t gotten the hang of things. The other leaves are okay right now but this is the first big leaf to get upset.

If it's just the outermost (oldest) leaf, then it could just be aging out and it's only a concern if you aren't seeing new leaves come in at regular intervals. If it spreads, it may be overwatering, inconsistent watering, or some chemical in your water bothering it
