Howard-I only cut leaves off for space too. Outside I cut them off only to fit them under the coverings. I leave on whatever I can. Inside I usually leave them on the elephat ears. I noticed it seems to help them get through the winter easier, in particular the ones that are unpotted. This works really well for ones prone to rot, like the Thai Giants. The old leaf sheaths help protect the tuber and also allow them to still have a very slow growth habit until I repot in spring. I don't have a ton of space, so I cut what I have to, pot soem and unpot the rest.

I see you chickened out and potted up your Mekong Giant! I just covered mine, at least have them mostly covered. I was able to cover all 6 feet of both of them with out cutting them and leaving the leaves on. I'm very interested to see how they make it this winter. After all La Nina agian! Come on 2 years in a row!!!
