Hi! I recently brought this Scindapsus Pictus home. At the nursery l, they suggested removing the leaf that’s turning yellow and browning, but then said I could cut the stem and propagate. The stem also has a leaf that had not uncurled after watering, and the end of the stem has turned brown.

Should I cut off that whole piece or let it be for now? She’s only been here about a week, so I don’t want to freak her out while she’s adjusting. I think I she’s doing pretty well otherwise, and I’m loving her!

Thank you!

I would personally cut it off, that way more energy goes to the plant
