Great. Thanks!
Should I expect the leaves on the broken section to decay? (Obviously, a
few will. I suppose it depends on how badly the growing tip is mangled.)
If so, should I be aggressive in removing them, or hesitant? Will I risk
damaging the plant further by removing such leaves while it's trying to
recover?
