Should I trim this leaf off of my Fiddle Fig? I’ve had it for over a year and all the new leaves have been bright and shiny, but this one is dull and has split at the top. It is also blocking a second stalk that has been working its way slowly around it. Thanks!

It can’t hurt it , sometimes it’s time for them to go, it’s whatever you want to do :)

You can trim the dead parts of the leaves if you don’t want to see that. But in the end the green helps the plant grow and create photosynthesis but one leave won’t kill it :)
