Oh my gosh, someone please help there was something flying around my plant so I went to try to kill it and I accidentally snatched my leaf and I cut in half. What do I do so please help I literally got her when she was like two leaves.

Cut off the damaged part and it will grow back

Cut at the steam or just the leaf?

I would cut off the whole leaf maybe like an inch or two from the stem

Elmo says just cut it at the base of the stem since it’s not even your biggest leaf. But that’s just Elmo’s opinion.
