It will most likely grow a lot this summer. When they are this size, they can grow out of a pot rather quickly. BOPs do like to be a little snug so I usually repot when I notice I have to water more often. I would leave the leaves alone until they naturally start to die off. Be prepared, this plant will double in size fairly quickly. #### Drewさんが2024-04-23に返信しました wow thank you, since i bought it it’s produced two whole new leaves since it’s come home with me in about two months, ill be sure to repot come this summer ### Hbaさんが2024-04-23にコメントしました Also, bops do not prop via leaves. You have to divide the plant when it’s larger or wait for pups. ### Kristaさんが2024-04-23にコメントしました Hi. No experience with BOPs but wanted to say I am jealous of your window view :). #### Drewさんが2024-04-23に返信しました hahah thank you! it’s lush here, either way rather jealous of your massive plant collection, quite impressive :) #### Kristaさんが2024-04-23に返信しました I don’t know how impressive since I got all of those plants in the last 2 months. I think I have a problem 🤣 😳 ### Sydneiさんが2024-04-23にコメントしました don’t remove them. all plants look different and they’ll likely go as bigger leaves grow in. good luck! ### annelieseさんが2024-04-23にコメントしました don’t remove them, they provide valuable resources and allow the plant to absorb more sunlight. there is no point in maiming a healthy plant because “someone else’s looks different”. ### Abi’s Plantsさんが2024-04-23にコメントしました Mine BOP is similar with the smaller leaves at the bottom. I removed a few of the stems with smaller leaves to give it a cleaner look but I still left most of them. ![1件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/2WFccCgUmfeNW9z4PmDZGyzZGGtYPhlYIdioOc46pFw/rUB4yzzvSCyCJOpul0hMug.webp?size=large) #### Morganさんが2025-06-10に返信しました This is gorgeous! I have one that was thriving like this when I got it and I didn’t even try. 5 years later and I’m having to go through Intensive care to get it back 😅 --- _Plantaコミュニティ (https://getplanta.com)。閲覧はどなたでも可能です。投稿、コメント、いいねをするには、Plantaアプリをダウンロードしてください: https://getplanta.com/download_
