Hello there! I personally like to cut the yellow ones off at the base because I'm all about aesthetics, but it also allows the plant to stop supplying any nutrients to that leaf. You could also leave it alone if it's not bothering you. It will eventually die off. Hope that's helpful ☺️

Thank you!!

Yes cut it. I usually cut it near the base, then when it dries up a bit, gently peel it the rest of the way off

Agreed. And cut it at an angle too! (Helps it heal faster and reduces infection risk)

I bought one of those jungle cats. They are stunning but after two weeks repotting fertilizing root check all the things I’ve lost all but one leaf! And it’s going too! Perfect lighting humidifier whole 9 yards. I think I’m just going to have to accept defeat on her!

Both my normal and my vaerigated had huge tempertantrums when I first got them. Losing most and all leaves. They've both come back. I realized one issue with the first is it wanted more light too.

I will give her some time before I call it! Thank you! 🤞🏻🤞🏻 because that plant is seriously stunning!!!
