WillC said:The presence of the damaged leaves is not beneficial to the rest of the plant so they can be trimmed off at any time. It is really a question of improving the overall appearance of the plant.
My suggestion about pruning referred to the vines, not the leaf stems that attach the leaves to the vines. If you posted a photo, I could be more specific. Send it to me privately ([email protected]), if you prefer.
WillC said:Hamwild - Theoretically, green leaves still have chlorophyll and are capable of absorbing light and photosynthesizing. However, a green leaf that is mostly discolored, wilted or dying has reached a point where its photosynthetic production is no longer sustainable. If a leaf just has some minor discoloration brown edges, then it is good to leave it in place. However, beyond that, it is best to remove it.
That said, it is quite common to prune off even perfectly healthy plant growth without it having any damaging effect on the rest of the plant. For me, the bottom line is doing what improves the overall appearance of the plant.
WillC said:The plant in the first photo needs more light. It is too far below the window and only the newest leaf is getting adequate light.
