If you want to do something to try and save these old leafs, you could clasp them back together and then loosely tie them with a belt in 2 points to prevent unclasping. Leave a good deal of slack at the tie points for the expanding pseudostem...

I've been using that "self-fusible silicone rubber tape"; the stuff that has no adhesive, but fuses/bonds to itself.
It stretches amazingly well & so far has been working for everything from tying plants to stakes, all the way on to making grafts.
1 wrap with about 2" of overlap should do the trick & it'll handle doubling of the diameter easily without needing to be replaced or tended to.
Here are some examples of the stuff if you're not familiar with it:

Emergency Repair Tape: Self Bonding Silicone Rubber Tape
