When a bottom leaf starts to look pale, should one just leave it or cut it off? The littlest bottom leaf doesn’t look as healthy as the older ones and I don’t know it’s natural aging and ok to leave or if I should clip. Thanks!

I personally wait for the leaf to be mostly yellow before I cut it, I have a yellowing baby leaf in my monstera as well! Someone can correct me if I’m wrong but when the leaf is old and yellowing the plant is taking nutrients from this old leaf!
