Doesn't the miniature size have something to do with the size of the leaf as well?

Maybe this picture will help. Mac's Southern Springtime as you can see is 9 to 10 inches across. The leaves a quite large. She seems to be loosing the lovely thumb print and becoming mostly white with hinds of the red.

I measured the pots that were sold as 2 1/2 and they are actually 3".

Should I follow Rob's suggestions and prune her leaves and reduce her root ball?
