Only one leaf on my pathos turned brown, it’s dry but all other leaves look healthy! What do I do?

It could be because it’s getting ready to fall off, as the plant works on making new leaves!

Hm, it looks like your plant is having some problems. I can see that the other leaf on that vine is a bit droopy as well. It is most likely water, root or light related. Watering imbalance, lacking light or being root bound/too much soil compared to roots are the most likely causes here.

Snip it right at the neck with scissors and check the roots :) make sure it’s not root bound or have squishy roots/rot. These brown spots usually happen to me when the soil doesn’t have enough perlite/airflow and the soil stays damp for too long (or overwatering)
