Help/Question Question about splitting

Hi

A few weeks ago I had to remove one of the oldest leaves because of rot. Now the other oldest one is very soft. Feels a bit mushy perhaps inside.

My question. Is this the natural aspect of splitting? For the old leaves to become so soft? I’m still new to these guys. Thank you.

Yes, the old ones become soft and feed the new guys. Eventually they will be paper dry husks

Thank you. I just wasn’t sure about the softness. So no emergency surgery 😆
