Similarly one may ask, should I cut the brown tips off my aloe plant?

Trim off any leaf tips or whole leaves that have turned pinkish-brown. These parts are dying, so removing them helps the aloe plant stay healthy and green. Use a knife for small and medium-sized plants, or sheers for large, thick leaves. The exposed end of the leaf will seal up on its own in time.
