    It happens every now and then.

      Will it kill the leaf?

      Probably not. But it will be easier to knock off accidentally. Luckily your plant has plenty of leaves and looks vigorous overall so I wouldn’t worry over one leaf.

      I have had both experiences- sometimes the root damages the leaf to the extent that it yellows and drops, and sometimes it just keeps on growin’ and thrivin’.
