Default Dark spot on the leaf...

What do you think about this spot? I hope is not a virus.

I am ready to cut it, but I am not sure...

I think it is some sort of burn.

It is not a virus.

Good news?

But, the black area is spreading? Should I cut it and put some cinnamon?

Thanks a lot!

I would cut that entire leaf off before it reached the crown, it's rot.

I've seen this sort of thing happen when a leave is touching something hot or wet. Another plant or a pot.
Sometimes it is trauma.
Definitely cut it before it affects the rest of the plant.

I agree with the others. Sure looks like rot. If you only cut out the rot, the leaf will be abnormal so I would cut the whole leaf and use cinamon.

I did this. Something in between cutting out the leaf and the area, because only 3 leaves remain...

Thanks for the advices.

Actually, that should work just fine. I did this with a Bulbo a had problems with and it worked just fine. You did treat the cut edge, right?
