# Do I need to cut off leaves that look like this? The nursery…

_Posted by Kezzy on 2024-04-21_

Do I need to cut off leaves that look like this? The nursery overwatered them and now they are in pon. Just trying to figure out how to fix it. Should I separate from other plants? Not sure if this is a fungal issue but it seems like it.

I personally would leave them because they are still photosynthesizing. If they get more than 50% damaged, that’s when I cut them. That’s just what I do though. I’m not sure if it’s right or wrong.
