schedule. I scissor off brown tips. of course on highly variegated leaves,
they may be the harbinger of an early death, so if the whole leaf gets
feeble and sad, i usually remove it. the edges on some of them dry in a
decorative manner. perhaps  your maddening winds have dessicated the plants
a wee bit. ours, which are called santa ana winds, do major leaf damage and
suck moisture out of plants like leeches.

Do your maddening winds have a name? they do wherever else the occur in the
world!
