Nice loretta
I defoliate mine regularly when the leaves get too large
As the leaves grow, take them of and you will eventually get some reduction to them

Thanks Ken, I'll do as you say. No-one has told me though whether they can be cut back and struck as cuttings. Have you ever taken cuttings from yours????
