| I bought a M. Basjoo yesterday that is already about three feet tall. I've replanted it into a half barrell and it seems that by this morning, there seems to be the beginnings of a new leaf shooting out the top.
My question is this, one of the older leaves looks really bad and trashy. Can I go ahead and cut that leaf or just deal with until it takes care of itself? |

| As long as the leaf is not brown, I usually leave it on the plant. Once it turns brown, I cut it off as close to the pseudo stem as possible. A brown leaf is no longer providing energy to the plant. |

| It's not really completely brown, but it looks really ugly. The edges are curling and just looking pretty bad. On a good note, though, it has put out another leaf really quickly. |

| Go ahead and cut it off as the 'basjoo will replace any ratty leaves very quickly. Any reason you have not planted it in the ground? |
