i push on the stem lightly and if it falls off it falls off and if it don`t fall off i leave it alone. don`t know if it`s right or wrong but it`s what i do.
If the leaf looks dead...
It is yellow/brown around edges...
How can this leaf benifit your plant...
Logically...speaking.....
Except for the fact, you may damage another part of your plant when you pull it off...
Why leave it on?

This is what I do. I grab a blade and pull ever so slightly, if it pops off it is done, if it doesnt I leave it til it falls off. Whats the rush if its going to fall off anyway? Let the plant suck it dry.
Very probably a Nitrogen deficiency. Could have something to do with all the locusts/insects around at the moment, but probably more due to a lack of Nitrogen.
