# I just bought this plant on sale today. What should I do about this…

_Posted by Ana on 2025-06-22_

I just bought this plant on sale today. What should I do about this leaf? Completely remove or ignore? I think the plant looks a bit discolored already. Hoping I can nurse it back to health. Thank you!

You can remove the damaged leaf since there are several more for photosynthesis.

It won't heal, so personally id just clip it off.

Thank you!! I wasn’t sure whether cutting sick leaves was necessary :)
