    Default what should i do with these big fan leaves?

    i was wondering what to do with these huge fan leaves, they are bigger than my hand and blocking a lot of light, should i cut them off to allow more light to the rest or leave them?

    you want to cut off the big leaves to get light to exactly where?? more leaves?? that makes no sense at all imo.. do you have a clue how plants work?
    the bigger leaves are like solar panels that hang out in the light and convert light energy into food and sugar via photosynthesis.. these are the power houses of the plant..
    sure, go ahead and remove them so that the light can get to, what was it again, the container, that's right, that's what makes all of the sugars and food for plants to live and thrive, what was i thinking..

    They dont block light, they absorb it. Fan leaves are an important part of your plant, otherwise they wouldn't be there. You can remove a few, but don't completely strip your plant.

    light passes throught the leaves ne way, there are varying opinions on this subject some say cut some say dont, but roughly 75-85 % of light passes through the leaves, so in my opinion, removing them would take away a great deal light absortion for your plant and add 15% more light for your lower growth, it doesnt balance itself out, i say leave them on there but its ultimately ur choice
