signs of sunburn

how can you tell if the plant has sun burn? also one more ? . can i get a a pair of scissors and cut the black dead traps off the plant?
 
Sun burn on plants can take all kinds of forms. Usually it is a spot or blotch that is blackbrown/dead in the center and progresses out brown, red, yellow, pale green, normal leaf colour.

As for removing the dead traps, yes indeed you can and it is actulally recommended so as to help prevent mould.

will it affect the whole plant such as killing it or just make it ugly for a while till new traps come?
 
the sunburn or the trimming?
 
Hye Pyro,
Mine had black on the leaves. I live in Florida and dumb me left it sitting in the sun 2-3 days untill I noticed that it was alomost to death. I just threw it away because it was droppy and looked pretty sad.
