I planted 4 radiator half top leaves about a month and a half ago. One leaf instantly rotted or something and fell over so I removed it. Now, the leaf (on the left in the pic) looks half rotted. Should I pluck it out or leave it and see if she grows? Lastly, should something have grown by now or did I maybe overwater? Thanks!

rotting indicates there’s either not enough circulation, or a bit too much water in there.

Are you growing them under a plastic cover or is the pot usually open?

Open. Does that left leaf seem rotted?

Unfortunately yea — if the leaf is squiggly like that \& not firm anymore that means it’s on its way out.

Though if some of the cut part is still healthy, don’t give up hope! I’ve propagated some leaves that rotted at the top but were still able to push out at least 1 prop before they finally shriveled up

I’ll leave it for now, then. Thanks for your response!
