Sorry if they aren't specifically called fan leaves, maybe water leaves. Anyways, I was doing some trimming yesterday on my plant outdoors, and made me wonder if I was taking to much off or being paranoid and not taking off as much as I could.

I'm referring to cutting off the excess leaves that grow here and there around the plant, that do nothing but take up water. Should I cut from the bottom up in a gradual pace, or could I cut most of them with no worries of doing any damage? I figure that way the rest of my plant can suck up water and grow better.

Let me know, thanks!
