Here's why I trim the leaves sometimes. Keep in mind, this is a very extreme example and the first time I've ever had one in a condition as bad as this.

This is the one I mentioned above that missed two waterings. 'Cherry Pie' I found it yesterday and watered it well. See how the leaves have completely wilted?

Sometimes they'll wilt a little like that at the tip, or turn a bit brown at the tip, and I trim them back, just to keep them looking nice.

In this particular instance, I'm just hoping trimming them back will allow the plant to absorb enough water to help the leaves stand up a little. I have no hope for the outer half or so of these leaves.
