Sometimes the older leaves brown and die over time. Is that the lowest one down on the stem? It’s probably fine, but I would make sure you’re not watering while the soil is still wet, just in case that’s a factor

Yes it is the lowest leaf, so I think it is just old then. Thank you because I just got this plant and was worried I overwatered it already!

Oh that makes sense then. Plants have an acclimation period when they are moved to a new environment. Totally normal to lose an old leaf in that case. Enjoy your new plant! ☺️

Thanks so much! 😊
