# Deliciosa prop - root growth is doing well, but one of the leaves is…

Deliciosa prop - root growth is doing well, but one of the leaves is starting to lose its color. It is not the leaf with new growth on it. Should I cut it to make sure new growth is being prioritized?

I would cut it just make sure where you cut is not going to touch the water that way it can callous and doesn’t rot the whole plant💚

I’m not completely sure but I heard planta can use yellow leafs nutrients

I would leave it to absorb the nutrients then cut it if it starts getting too close to the other one
