Hi, My philodendron black cardinal fell & damaged one of the stem/leaf area. It’s not fully snapped & the bend is closer to the base of the leaf area. I’ve currently staked the area to give it more support, but should I just cut away the area? Photos are of the bend with/without stake. Thanks!

    this leaf will be okay i think. the bend isn't super crazy. support it only long enough to heal the wound and then take the stake away so it can harden to support itself

      And Black Cardinal (recent pest issue) leaves not quite as long and narrow
