So I have rescued a few plants from Wally World and this certian one has recovered well. It's giving off new leaves and growing as well as I could hope. The only problem is it has a lot of torn up leaves and while the color is good they look ragged. I'm not sure if the plant will repair the leaves (I'm guessing not) and if not then should I cut them off? I can live with them until they die naturally but I know that they can take energy from the plant and I would perfer that the energy would go to newer, healtier (and prettier) leaves.
Here is a link to a few pictures:
