Hello! I need some help, as a first one Plant Mami.  
I don’t know what these brown spots are, but please let me know what this indicates if you know!  
Should I prune it?

I would let it go. I also have that on mine, but the plant is still thriving!

### Haley commented on 2023-06-21

totally normal. old leaves and foliage will brown or yellow and fall off as the plant focuses on new growth

Some of the brown bits are the leaf sheath that held the newly forming leaf.

Yep! They are just part of the plant and not a problem at all
