I got a Lantana a little bit ago, but one leaf turned suspiciously yellow and brown.. none of the others are like it. Does anyone know what it is or what I should do?

The yellowing and browning of a single leaf on your lantana plant is likely due to a fungal issue, such as botrytis blight, or a potassium deficiency

I wouldn’t worry about one branch especially if there is only one shrub in the pot. It could be the plant going dormant after cold weather affected it. I’m in zone 9, South coastal Texas. I have one Lanata shrub that dies back every winter and pops back from the dead in late spring. It hides inside ground covers and pops yellow blooms. My lawn guys trim it back to 6 inches height. It puts out new growth.
