It’s just a damaged part like it got hit or scraped. But I would wait to cut that off. I’ll wait till more leaves come through then cut the dry or damaged leaves

Hmmm, that could be. A few weeks ago when I was returning it to its place after watering, I hit one of the leaves on the ceiling. (It lives up high). The orange stuff is hard and does not easily come off when I scrape it. I hope you’re right! I will have to look at it again when I get home.
