Should I Prune Damaged Leaves?

Should you cut off dying leaves? Yes. Remove brown and dying leaves from your house plants as soon as possible, but only if they're more than 50 percent damaged. Cutting off these leaves allows the remaining healthy foliage to receive more nutrients and improves the plant's appearance.

Should I remove diseased leaves?

It's important to keep plants clean by removing diseased leaves and all fallen debris. Put debris in the garbage, do not compost. Diseases can come to your garden due to weather conditions, passed by the wind, or even carried by a visiting insect.

Do pruned leaves grow back?

A node is where the leaf meets the stem and are areas where dormant buds exist. New growth will occur at the nodes after you prune. For softer stemmed plants, you can just pinch the growing tips as well. This will result in a bushier houseplant.
