Cut leaves part-way?
Higgs Boson wrote:
Sorry if I'm asking something I "should" know, but all these many years of gardening, I've never understood whether it's OK to cut part-way off leaves that are dried and ugly from the tips half-way down. Does it upset the plant (Clivia is what I'm on about at the moment) if I "clean up" the look of the flower bed? Will the remaining part of the leaf continue to feed the plant? Or does cutting off part of a leaf degrade its function? If just a few leaves out of hundreds I'd simply pinch them off for aethetic reasons, but if many leaves are browning I'd think it would be much more important to find out why. |
