what happened with this leaf, and should I cut it out!? when I bought this bird of paradise it was a little yellow with small black dots so i knew i may lose it… but what’s the cause and how do i keep the other leaves from the same fate? thanks in advance!
Unsure about the cause, but pruning dead leaves allows the plant to focus its nutrients towards healthy leaves. Just make sure you use a sterile cutting tool so that you don't pass on an infection to the little guy (isopropyl alcohol should do the trick)

it’s just the oldest leaf, no reason to worry.
2件のいいね awesome thank you! would you suggest removing it?
0件のいいね Personally, I always remove ugly or dying leaves/foliage. That way the plant will use more energy to grow new leaves. I say cut it off (at the base of the stalk of the leaf)
