Plant thriving extra leaves, grown taller. Only this leaf slowly slowly drying like a crisp, is getting worse and worse do I…….?? Help 😟. Thank you.

If it’s thriving and growing taller it’s going to stop putting as much energy into bigger older leaves 🥲 maybe just prune off that one (or try to salvage appearance by trimming with scissors wiped with peroxide or rubbing alcohol.) Sometimes tap water can cause issues like that but it looks like this leaf was damaged by something (pet/ damage while watering or moving) and is just dying off. I saw somebody on here the other day say “leafs aren’t forever” and that’s so true!! If the rest of your plant is happy and healthy try not to worry about one leaf here or there 🥰🌱✨

Sorry it’s dark. It’s a ficus
