Fairly new to both of these and wondering if I should let them do their things or pull off the old dead stuff.

yes, if the leaves are fully dry they are really easy to pick off. I use one of these bad boys. but you have to be careful with the sharp tip

I have an addiction to pulling off dead leaves. I just can’t leave my hands off of them and it drives me nuts when they are still hanging on for dear life and I want to pull them off…
I wait for them to be super crispy dead. There is less of a chance of tearing them then. Crispy like 🥓
Since I grow outdoors before I pull off the dry leaves I make sure there’s no rain in the forecast for at least 3-4 days just to let it callus better first 🙂 but heck yeah.
That titanopsis has such cool coloration!
Also OP, some of the damage on the new growth of your titanopsis looks suspiciously like thrips damage… I would maybe check over your collection to see if you notice anymore damage or something
Si, por estética se las quitó, con pinzas o con las manos
