Do not mess with those fan leaves. It can be done, that is removal of some, but unless you are very lucky or experienced, you are courting disaster.

The leaves that have grown have done so because the plant and environment dictated it. You cannot alter that.

You can however, tuck some of those fan leaves that are hiding the buds...just tuck them behind the main stem and use twist ties or cigar cleaners to anchor them.

How far along is she in flower? 3 weeks?
