I picked this beauty up from Home Depot and she has a break down the center of her biggest leaf.

I’m wondering if it will continue to grow or if I should just snip it.

Thoughts?

I agree with Leah. Keep it. If the damage isn't done by pests or other fungal/bacteria or too severe the leaf can still be beneficial to the plant. If it starts to brown or shows other signs of dying off then remove it so the plant doesn't waste energy on it.

I appreciate all the input!
