Hi LesleyAnne, welcome to Greg!

It depends on why they are going black. Some people will trim just the tips for aesthetic reasons. But if the plant is sick and it is something that will spread then a more intense pruning is needed.

@PlantMompy thank you for the welcome ☺️I have them in a metal pot and not sure if it’s draining properly, what would you recommend?

You're welcome! It might be with a repot if it's not draining properly.
