Do you trim all the leafs off ?

Thanks Milky :)

I cut off all the fully-unfolded leaves, leaving only the curled-up ones :p

Is there a reason for that ?

I don't really know what to do, maybe it was okay to let the big leaves grow (or die naturally?). I just did that so that the plants won't waste too much energy for the huge leaves. I thought they were going into the dormant stage until spring, and I haven't watered them at all after I had brought them indoors. But still, they managed to keep growing somehow. Tough bunch :)
