the leaves feed the plant. why would you do that? the big leaves collect light then turn it into sugars which feed the smaller leaves and branches so they can grow up and be big and strong. why do you think they are there in the first place?

the big leaves are the lungs and receptors to your plant. there is a reason why the plant grows there. if you have a large area, you should worry about these leaves. best time to get rid of them is when these fan leaves dont get any light...

not any time.

One can kill his/her plant this way.

Yes, I agree, snipping all of the leaves would not be good, for plant AND appearance! I only snipped two leaves, they were blocking the light, thus branches under these two huge leaves were wilting in lack of light. Now I know they are the powerhouse of the plant.

You can take a few leaves off to expose lower leaves (indoors) but I really don't see the point of doing it if you grow outdoors. I think people like to keep plants bushy indoors because your canopy is even and receiving almost all the light you have. I would think people keep plants short and bushy outdoors because of stealth.
