To cut or not to cut. That is the question. What are your thoughts about hoya carnosa krimson queens and princess with completely white leaves? I have always been told to remove white leaves as they are taking resources from the rest of the plant (no chlorophyll), and that a small amount can take a plant down. So being a good little gardener, I snip at them mercilessly. What do you do?
I leave mine! That’s what makes the plant beautiful! When the plant no longer needs them, they’ll fall off.
I leave mine! They do take up nutrients but as soon as it cant keep supporting the lack of chlorophyll, they’ll shrivel up.

I leave mine too! I enjoy them so much and find that they often don’t fall off for a long time if at all.

I leave mine! That is one of the reasons why variegated plants are so pretty and desirable 🥰
