# Hi everyone! Any guess why this one leaf has like striations along…

Hi everyone! Any guess why this one leaf has like striations along this one leaf that seem easily breakable? Overall the plant is doing well and new leaves are growing. I did cut off one yellow leaf, but assuming it’s because it was a bottom leaf that naturally died to let energy flow to new leaves. I just cleaned the plant and didn’t find any pests. Are the leaves just brittle? The same stalk has a new leaf growing in.
