Do I need to cut these brown leaves? Idk whats wrong with it, i was thinking maybe sunlight but I had it in a shadier area when it started to turn and moved it to brighter light. Don’t think I’m overwatering either

Yeah cut them off. Usually not watering it enough is the main cause

They won’t turn back normal so if it bothers you then it’s okay to cut them off. This is also (and more commonly) a sign of overwatering (watering too frequently/not letting the soil dry out between waterings). If you’re following planta’s schedule you need to be checking that the plants aren’t still too wet before you water, as planta often suggests watering way more frequently than actually needed. If the soil is still wet then snooze the task and check again in a couple days, good luck!
