Please help! Why are my plants leaves looking like this? Should they be cut off, or what’s the best plan of action? Thanks in advance!

    It could be fungal…soil staying wet too long. I would certainly remove the damaged leaves and make sure that your soil is draining well. Spray remaining leaves with an anti fungal spray. Poke holes with a chopstick to help drying. Allow to dry completely before watering again. Use 50/50 mix water and peroxide next watering.

      Thank you! How would you remove the leaves? Should I only remove the yellow ones or all the ones that have spots? Which anti fungal spray do you recommend ?

    The yellow for sure. The spotted might be okay if the spray stops the spread and the look doesn’t bother you. Just make sure it isn’t spreading. Any spray should work. I have this one currently.

      Thank you! show often do you spray it? And do I cut it right until the stem, or leave some of the stem sticking out?

    Copper fungicide works well too. Check your watering habits too. Overly wet soil leads to many of the fungal issues.
