Should I cut these off?

[mrsjoannh13]

I've got an anubias barteri that is clearly suffering from nutrient deficiencies (I'm working on that). Two of the leaves are yellowing from the tip. I'm bumping up ferts but curious if these leaves are beyond saving. Will they eventually die in which case I'd be better to trim them now? Or will increased nutrients reverse the issue eventually? Thanks!

I’m no green thumb but the dying leaves will still be taking nutrients from leaving the healthy ones with less , I don’t personal remove dying plants I let them die then rot into the substrate. I’m guessing it creates ammonia and nitrate but adds new ferts to the substrate but My plants don’t really ever do that well to be giving advice lol

Yes, cut them off.

I personally would. If you don’t, they will fall off and rot.

If the plant is new, the yellowing leaves are terrestrial leaves that are dying and will be shed.
