So I bought this Strelitzia last June form a garden centre. Zola was all beaten up and had powdery mildew. Anyways she’s settled in and produced around 6 new leaves and has 2 more on the go. The older leaves pictured are the now more damaged ones. While she’s producing new growth is it worth pruning out the old leaves and if so how far would I cut back?
