I got this new green dragon scale Alocasia in the mail today. The full leaves are gorgeous, but a new leaf that was unfurling in transit didn’t fare so well. Do you think I should leave it or remove it? I wasn’t sure if it hurts a plant a lot to cut off a new leaf.

    Just looks like a new leaf to me that hasn’t hardened off. But not totally sure

      OK thank you so much! I’ll see how it goes. The stem is so pale that I thought maybe it wasn’t a healthy leaf. Hopefully now that it is home it will be OK!

      All new leaves will look like this till it hardens. They darken as they harden.

      It does seem to be opening now so fingers crossed!
