# Had a repot casualty. Can a break like this be repaired? Or will it…

_Posted by AudPod on 2026-04-05_

Had a repot casualty. Can a break like this be repaired? Or will it eventually just result in the bottom of the leaf to die from lack of nutrients? I have a feeling if I’d noticed it last week right after repot it might have been saved but might be too late now that it’s callused.

unfortunately that leaf will die. i would wait for it to start getting crispy, the plant still takes nutrients back from the leaves until they're officially dead

Thanks for the straight talk, and advice on leaving it for now!
