Should I cut this guy who’s yellowing and has some brown off ? All the other parts are thriving!!! Got this plant on its death bed from Walmart in the beginning of summer.

Yes you can. Try adding more lighting and humidity also.

It’s been outside in my screened in porch so it’s been plenty humid. Worried about it inside in the winter ! I’m in 7a. (Jersey)

6b RI here. I keep mine indoors year round. Nice bright spot and I use a cool mist humidifier to keep the humidity up.

Before I remove a leaf I first try trimming the tip keeping a rounded curve ending at a point like leaves naturally do. Sometimes you can trim them so well you won’t even notice the tip has been trimmed
