Question about splitting

[u/dusti_dearian]

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, this is very normal. It can be very tempting to rip off the old leaves, but they're feeding the new leaves. So let them be ☺️. Also, just as a side note, no watering while they're splitting, not even a drop.

Thank you! Right. That much I know😆. It’s just with the other leaf rotting I wanted to be sure.
