I have 3 plants and occasionally I will get some leaves that die, should I cut those off of the main plants? Also, if there are leaves damaged but not dead, should I cut those a well? Thanks!

I have a similar question because lots of my virus infected leaves are drying. Does the plant suck the juice back from the wilted leaves?

I prune off all dead, nearly dying leaves or heavily damaged leaves. (burn, hail etc.)
They do nothing to help the plant, and could potentially harbour disease if the conditions are right.


As the plant ages, it is completely normal to lose the first or oldest leaves.
