    How often do you water? How much sun is it getting? What medium is it in? Its staying wet for too long. I water mine once every 3 weeks and they are in full sun for 8 hours a day. Mine are in 50% regular potting soil with 50% chunky (#4) perlite in a terracotta pot.

    Remove the black leaf and make sure it has enough light and it is not getting overwatered if you check the roots and there’s rot cut the rot off and spray the good roots with a 3% hydration peroxide mix with water to release oxygen hope this helps

    It’s overwatered. Soil should be totally dry before you water. The drooping leaf was because the plant couldn’t handle the extra water. Some leaves will swell up with excess water, turn kinda translucent, wither, then eventually fall off. If this continues to happen, the roots will rot and plant will not survive. If this is first, the plant will be fine. There is a variety of plants in that pot, they have different requirements. They will eventually need to be separated.

    That's definitely rot. In addition to treating it with hydrogen peroxide as the other person said, i suggest taking a few cuttings to propagate, just in case things go badly. Best case scenario, you end up with extra plants. Worst case scenario, you'll be glad you took healthy cuttings when it was possible
