Do you mean the sheath that the next leaf emerged from? It’s natural for that to dry out and go crispy, as it’s not needed anymore. You can leave it or carefully trim it once it’s properly dry.  
Your plant looks really healthy! Lots of new roots starting 😊

Everything looks normal to me! Happy plant!
