# Hello! So I am BRAND new to planting I know basically nothing about…

_Posted by Tee on 2024-09-08_

Hello! So I am BRAND new to planting I know basically nothing about it. However for a while I have been wanting to grow my own rosemary, sage, lavender, and aloe. I just got this beauty (Aurora) from a nursery yesterday. I repotted it and as soon as I put it in this pot, one of the leaves looked like this. I don’t know what I should do. Should I rip it out or is it OK and what is causing it and how do I fix it?

I would suggest to cut it because it's brown at the base. Cut close to the base as u can where it's green. Wait for others suggestions before hand just in case I'm also new to planting but I have 3 aloes myself and I trimmed what was no good still waiting for regrowth because I just did this about a week ago
