I've noticed that many of you post pictures of your plants, and some have ugly leaves with spots, browning, or yellowing. I'm curious why you choose to leave those on the plant. For me, if a leaf looks bad, I prefer to remove it. I'm comfortable with starting plants over and over and propagating them. It's really important to me that my plants look nice. How do you all handle this?

I usually leave the ugly leaves unless they're diseased. My plants can be a bit dramatic, and I don't want to upset them. Honestly, they have me tiptoeing around the house!
Personally, I let nature take its course. I find beauty in the natural progression of plants.
I get that; I enjoy how plants brighten up the space. But when they start looking sad, it can really bring down the vibe!
I tried just letting the leaves stay when I first got my plants, but it drove me crazy! Now I dedicate some time each week to tidy things up.
That makes sense! I've noticed that if I leave them be for a bit, they actually seem to thrive better.
