    I think the stem is tearing from the weight of the leaf…but it’s such a great leaf 😫 it would be a shame to cut it. Can you gently zip tie just under and just above the spot to a support stake or stick?

    I totally agree with JuJu! Give support and keep an eye if possible. Remove if the health of the leaf is continually decreasing so it can can focus its energy elsewhere.
