Broken leaf?
 

I went out to water and check my plants today and one of them has a broken leaf. This is a new leaf that just fully opened. This guy is one of my favorites. He survived the "mystery critter" who downed him; was dug up and planted in a pot for awhile. Was doing great, and just getting used to his new space in the ground. Should I cut the leaf, or just let Nature take it's course? Will the next leaf push out without intervention?

Anna,

I had one of my plants to do the same thing. I just left the leaf on the plant as long as it was still Green,once it started to die I cut it. The other new Leaf should have no problem coming out. Hope this helps. :)

I've got at least three broken leaves still hanging on a couple of plants. I would leave it there, as it is still providing needed energy for the plant.

Okay - I'll leave it be.

Thanks!!!

Anna, Leave ANYTHING that is green, regardless of looks, shape, orientation, or whatever. Green is ALWAYS good.

I'm leaving it alone. But I have to tell you - I did go out today and gently lift the leaf to look inside for a sign of another new leaf. There is one! :)

Whoo-hoo! You guys were right! (I knew you would be, BTW) :-)

The new leaf is emerging with no problem. :bananas_b
