Heyy so this Areca palm is atleast 4/5 years old by now she was my mums but I’ve taken her in, she’s got a whole lot better since and has new shoots and leaves as shown, however, there’s this one leaf which is just getting browner and crispier, I’m not sure wether to cut her off so the little ones can grow better or to leave her, please help thanks 🫶🏼  
(Also she’s the only leaf coming from the bottom)

Yeah I would cut off the browning leaf to encourage new growth
