I hate to have the dead/dried up stuff, but I think it acts as a buffer. I leave the tops on for added protection, even if it makes my yard look pitiful. Not ees, but isn't this depressing? Monstera deliciosa. The leaves are shrivelled to nothing, but the bottom rhizomes are nice and green. The large leaves provide protection Dec-Feb. I don't top it off until mid March or so.
