what should i do with the discolored leaves? It was under watered when i first got it so it started to die, I got it back on track but these leaves are still kinda crunchy and discolored. A sunflower as a beginner not for the weak 🤒

You can prune the leaves for aesthetic reasons. Just make sure you have enough greenery to support growth. Do not trim more than a third
