Hi all!  
I bought this baby home with me today and I’ve noticed this one leaf is a bit sad. Should I just chop him off or leave it alone? Thanks! ☺️

I would cut it off.

I’d personally leave it. The plant will get rid of it when it’s ready. You could cut it off if you don’t like the aesthetics though
