This is a Roxburg fig, at least that’s what Planta is calling it. I’m wondering if I should remove these little leaves/growth toward the bottom of my plant. I’m thinking it’s taking away from sending energy to the top of the plant. Anyone have any thoughts?

It depends on what you want, you want a full plant with a lot of growth points, then no, or you want a single stem long plant, in that case why not…

My idea is to let leaves fall off on there own
