House plant (monstera deliciosa) browning on one leaf... any ideas?

Brand new, young monstera - seems to be thriving otherwise (see pics to compare).

This leaf was browning on arrival - anything I can do to revive it or prevent other leaves suffering?

They like humidity and no direct sun.

Don’t overwater. It’s netter to up the humidity and water less.

Info from a group I’m in!

I think I'd cut that leaf off, it won't recover and is little use or ornament.

Thanks both. Shall I cut it at the stem?

Yes, as low as possible. Unless you can gently pull that whole stem off at the bottom, I can't remember if monsteras would do that.

Remember even on evergreen plants like the Monstera, leaves have a limited lifespan. If you're losing leaves at a lower rate than gaining new leaves, then the plant is doing OK.
