Is it safe to cut the damaged leaves? I’ve had this plant probably close to a year and a few leaves were damaged during shipment. It has since grown a few new leaves and currently starting to bloom.

Yes you can cut off those damaged leaves.

go ahead, also very pretty plant other than that :)

It’s best to chop off dead leaves, that way the rest of the plant can thrive. 😉

Cutting off dead leaves is ESSENTIAL to your plants continuous growth. Don’t be scared to cut it off at the root because it will only bring the rest of the plant down
