I like to tuck.look at those large leaves as solar panels that create energy to supply plant with the power to grow.The only cutting i do is to top plant or harvest.My rule of thumb is tuck large leaves,if still not enough light penatrating canopy then more light is needed.
bobjob4u Reviewed by bobjob4u on . Trimming Fan Leaves My plants have been in the flower box for a month now. I tied strings to them and bent the tops over exposing a lot more flowers to the light. I started snipping off large fan leaves if they are covering up a flower. I just do a few here and there everyday. Is that the right thing to do? Rating: 5
