No don't cut any leafs off, that's how it makes its food. I'd say cut back on the water don't mist it for a day or 2. I had water issues and so do a lot of other people mist the first 2-3 days but cut back after that.

So... 2 to 3 days spray - 1 to 2 days off- next day give a spray - next day check if they need water - 2 days off - give a spray - you should see roots in a few more days...

When you spray take the dome off for 30 min let them "breath" and soak up the water... you can also blow your breath into the dome as a slight boost. Good Luck to ya.

If they die check to see if they have roots, it could be a lack of N... but i'll stick with the water for now.
