some cut them off, others (myself) just wait till they fall of, or come off with a slight pull....seems to just be a matter of personal preference and not a big deal either way.

My thinking is that, once they turn yellow and the tips start dying it means the leaf has "given it's all" to the plant, and has expired. Leaving it on there accomplishes nothing, as it has nothing left to give to the plant.

Once they get to that point (or very close) they are removed. No sense having a bunch of "dead soldiers" hanging about on your plant.

JMHO...

Removing dying or dead leaves will allow more light to parts of the plant, which may not otherwise receive enough light to produce as much as they can.
