In terms of leaf cutting, sometimes excess minerals or other conditions will cause leaf tips to die and brown. For aesthetics, many vendors will trim these dead tips off.

Thanks Alice, I was wondering about that. In the nursery last Sunday, I saw huge Phals, beautiful blooms in14 white, but ugly Leaves cut back to the crown, and had white lines down the veins, which was the problem I panicked about in 5 of 13 mini and standard Phals. and took to be diagnosed. Pharmacy man, said in very little humidity in NM, I need to stop up the S/H holes in my clear pots, fill with flush and leave 5 to 10 minutes then drain and refill just to the holes in the pots.
