For some plants, the brown leaves slow the growing of the plant since brown leaves are basically dead leaves, but for most plants, people just cut them off because it looks more presentable that way. Usually they can live and grow with the brown leaves still there.

If the hyacinth flower is cut off will it kill the bulb?
No it will not. But don't cut all the leaves off with the flower. Let the leaves stay on the plant until they turn yellow and wither. They're needed to produce food for the bulb to store for next year's plant.

Is there any way to keep an albino plant alive?
I don't know. I am about to investigate it right now my self but I've heard people say that you can submerge the plant leaves with sugar and cut about 3mm off each leaf's tip to allow glucose to travel through the veins. If the leaves are big enough to be cut 3mm a day and the glucose is renewed every now and then, the plant can survive for approx. 3 - 4 months so they say but I'm not sure.
Can limp cell parts of the plant be made be crisp again?
In other words, can you re-stiffen the cell walls and in the process, rejuvenate the wilted plant? Oftentimes, yes. Spray the foliage (leaves) with water, both on the undersides of the leaves and the tops. Re-cut the stem, and immerse the cut end immediately in tap water. A few drops of lemon juice will help revive and also prevent browning (it is an antioxidant).
Why do weed leaf tips turn brown?
If the leaves of your cannabis plant are turning a pale or light green color it might be because it is being over watered. There are two signs of over watering that i have noticed. The first is that a day after watering the plants leaves turn pale green and some times die and fall off, other times they might turn a pale green but never fall off. In this case cut off the dying leaves. The other sign I'm not to sure of but when the stems to the paling leaves is a redish color it seems to be due to over watering.
