# Should I trim off all the curled up leaves and let these new leaves…

_Posted by Tanya on 2024-04-17_

Should I trim off all the curled up leaves and let these new leaves flourish and regrow? I’m just scared I’ll kill it if I do as that is what happened to my last one when I did. Thoughts?

Many thanks

If the curled up leaves and their stems are completely dried, it should be fine to cut them off. If they still are in the process of dying, then I would leave them for a bit longer
