I don't think this plant is putting any energy into growing at 
all :).  It had settled in as is while still in the pot.  The only 
difference is that the outer fan leaves have died.  As for cutting 
it off I don't think I'd lose anything, but grasshoppers do it all 
the time for me and I've yet to see that help the plant.  I myself 
have knocked a couple off with the garden hose, but they didn't make 
up for the loss with new growth.  I have green-leaved seedlings 
doing the same thing.  Some just won't grow, it seems.
