Phal trouble

This phal got some sunburn reciently but now it appears that the yellow areas are still spreading on the one leaf. There is also a patch that is turning a greyish color and feels mushy.

Should I remove this leaf? Any suggestions as to other treatments?

Thanks,

Greg

I would wait.

Sunburn rarely kills a plant and as long as there is enough chlorophyll to produce food for the plant then let it grow.

Keep an eye on the area that you say is mushy. If it continues to grow it is something more than sunburn and may need to be removed.

If the yellowing is just the leaf dying from the sunburn then there is also nothing that you need to do. The leaf will fall off when it is dead or you can remove it when there is little green left.
