It is okay to cut them in half or trim them back pretty hard on each leaf. (remember the plant will keep producing small leaves and they will get big also)

Here are a couple of streps I haven't cut back in a while because Poochie (the orange) is one of my favorites and I haven't had time to start a new tray of leaves............but when I do trade and start new leaves I will cut a little more than half of the leaf off.......then do the final trimming with the pinking shears.

sorry about the day bed and clothes on it!
