# What should I do with these damaged leaves? I am positive it’s cold…

_Lagt ut av Nicole den 2025-02-28_

What should I do with these damaged leaves? I am positive it’s cold damage. I bought this on one of the coldest days this winter (I’m in WI). It otherwise looks very healthy. Do I leave them? Trim off the yellow/brown?

you can leave them as is and check if the damage changes. personally, i think trimming the yellow/brown makes the plants look a little sad, the brown edges are natural and are a part of your plant’s life. its still a beautiful plant despite it

The browned edges are typically because of underwatering although it can be other reasons. Tip your pot over and poke your finger in the bottom hole to see if your water is getting to the bottom of the pot. I will have to disagree with the previous comment that browning is normalal.

Also, the damage done will not go away. You can trim the yellow and brown away but then the leaf does look odd. Probably the best thing is to amend your watering schedule or technique and wait until it develops a few good leaves and then gradually trim the rest away.
