Opinions please: do I snip those forming new leaves so the cutting can focus on roots?

    I’d think it would form roots either way, so you’re to totally fine to keep them if you want to! I don’t know for sure, but it’s possible that cutting those leaves might just make the plant focus on more leaves instead of roots. If I was trying to get more root growth, I might consider adding prop drops or a cutting from a pothos (they put out rooting hormones that make other propagations/cuttings root faster in water). Good luck!
