Default snipping old leaves to expose new growth
What's your opinion on snipping old leaves (say, of a phal or onc.) rather than letting them turn brown and fall off naturally? I always cut them off so that new growth (whether it be new roots, spikes or bulbs) is exposed to the light and can't get moisture trapped against it or provide a hiding place for bugs. However, I do wonder whether I'm depriving the plant of some extra energy. Your thoughts?
