Should I take these off Sam??

Hey guys! Another question here.
Sam is growing WONDERFULLY!! But there are some dead leaves (that have been dead since I got him sadly) around him. Would it be a good idea to remove them, or leave them be? Some of them look good by the stem, but the rest look dead all the way. So I'm just a little confused what I should do. Thanks #greggang!

You should remove them. If they stay too long they could slowly start to kill Sam.
@YouthfulKanna Okay!! Thank you for telling me.
Hi @tumberlne! Sam is gorgeous, good work 😁

I think you're fine either way, but personally I tend to be a bit ruthless about pulling off dry/dying leaves. Partially because they just bug me, lol - but there's also the argument that you're helping the plant redirect energy to new growth.

But no wrong answer, looks like Sam is going to thrive either way πŸ₯°
@ShipofRockets Hi!! I did end up pulling all I could find (There was so much that i didn't even notice until looking😭). He looks even better now!!
