Don’t let the soil get bone dry and don’t let it stay too moist.

I would go ahead and cut it right off near the base. It looks like it might have been the first leaf on that stem? Shouldn’t impede new growth and will focus the plants energy for better uses. Make sure you have a good water schedule too though. They like to be soaked through then left alone to dry out.

I water with schedule on here

Plantas schedules aren't always very accurate, test the soil before you water. You might also want to make a custom schedule.
