This isn't some kind of metaphore is it?

Answer 3

That's hard to answer as we don't know how fast it is growing.  I like to see some new growth kept to replace any older that is naturally shed.  No leaf lasts forever, the old ones to drop at some point.  Plants in office situations mainly just survive, not thrive, unless extraordinary growing conditions exist.  Fertilize no more than every 4-6 weeks and at 50% the recommended dosage.  Keep an eye out for spider mites that cause the leaves to turn "dusty" or yellow and ie.  Wash the plant regularly to keep the critters at by.
