Many thanks in advance 🍌🍌🍌
Late answer to the question.
Many of my plants do the same when indoors for the winter .

When the plant is brought outdoors the leaves usually snap at the slightest breeze.
This is due to the plant of not being hardened off to the outdoors.

You may trim the leaves where they snap or just below if you wish.
The plant will sort itself out in about 30 days.
