# I NEED HELP! the leaf on this stem wasn’t doing good a couple of…

I NEED HELP! the leaf on this stem wasn’t doing good a couple of months ago so I chopped it. But now  
I’m wondering if I should have cut the whole stem off or is a new leaf going to grow out of this chopped stem. I noticed it starting to brown. Should I leave that stem the way it is or chop it lower? I’m trying to prevent taking the entire plant out to remove the stem. Please help !!

You might be fine with leaving it be, a new leaf won’t grow out of it unfortunately but if you start noticing issues with it then trim it down as close as you can get to the soil, thankfully you won’t have to unpot it to remove it! I hope this helps

Thank you so much!! That definitely helps. I might cut it down just for looks so it’ll look nice lol
