# My teachers peacock calathea is pretty cooked. It had root rot and I…

My teachers peacock calathea is pretty cooked. It had root rot and I have been taking care of it for her ever since. It’s doing a lot better and putting energy into this specific leaf that’s almost healed. But should I cut off the dead wilting pieces or should I let it grow? (I cut off dead excess long ago) 🌞
