I have slight OCD when it comes to yellowing unhealthy looking leaves. I'm a newb banana plant owner with a Grand Nain that is in a pot. One of the leaf is really yellow and has dark brown dead patches that are flaky. Is this part of normal growth pattern or is something wrong? Should I cut it off? The banana plant has been outside a lot for the past few days because its been really warm and I water it daily if the soil has been dried up. And this leaf started looking unhealthy about 1.5 weeks ago.
Thanks everyone!

If its a lower leaf don't worry about it.. When was the plant purchased and was it transplanted recently?

Thanks for the reply.. yeah its the lowest leaf and yeah I transplanted it into a bigger pot than the one it came with , with new soil 2 weeks ago. I bought it around Aug 23rd. I sprayed it with mild soapy water just in case.

Bananas will tend to lose lower leaves as they put out new foliage. Doesn't sound like it's anything abnormal. Just wait till it is dead/brown and then cut it off where it exits the pseudostem.
