Hi budma

welcome to the forum

I don't know about 'don't remove any leaves', I think you have to be sensible, especially indoors; but as far as stripping plants bare, I'm the wrong person to give you any advice, it's not my way generally

no doubt someone will be along with the relevant chat though, some knowledgeable folks about the place

Welcome to the forum,

Defoliation is a controversial subject, there are people for and against. I am against it, I believe that all the leaves are necessary, and that if they are eliminated, we stress the plant.

In my opinion, you can remove the leaves that make shade, so that all the branches receive a lot of light. Can be removed without cutting / removing. Thus the plant does not suffer stress.

Regards!
