I trimmed the sun leaves in the hopes that these other branches would grow out. Will that help?

nope no help. If the fan leaves are healthy leave them alone.

Stump is right, you're taking away the plants energy collectors( fan leaves). New growers ALWAYS try to do too much. just water it and let it do its thing. At least untill you KNOW exactly what your doing. We've all been there. Good luck.

At this point let them go. They might stall on growing for a few weeks due to shock. but they should be ok. STOP cutting on them. The only leaf a noob should remove is a dried up yellow shrivled dead one.

.....um. i dont think you guys are entirely correct, ive trimmed plenty of leaves off (fan leaves) and it doesnt harm the plant or do anything hurtful to it. it still grows, and still collects the energy it needs, minus the leaves. you just want to keep a few fan leaves, dont take off alot, just enough to let all of the plant get some light on each spot. ur advise that guy gave u was correct, he just mite have forgot to add that u still want some of the fan leaves on the plant, hell ive taken off all my fan leaves before on a plant, still grew just fine, more undergrowth really than the others, but hey, ur choice man.

I left 2 sets of sun leaves and theres a third set growing out. The guy that told me to cut the ones I did said that it would allow that fan leaves to get more light thus causing them to grow better.
You can do quite a bit to these plants and they'll keep coming back, so I'm not too worried. This plant was planted forgotten then re-discovered half way through growing so... not my best work anyways.

You should think about topping it. It would give you the desired tops you want. Also, judging by the picture, you should let the soil dry out completely. If you topped it and transplanted it into a deeper pot, this thing would get beautiful... Good luck

The key is staying within yourself. In other words "prune" to your level of ability. Do it with knowledgeable intent and purpose. And no-one would EVER cut off like half of their leaves. Never mind ALL of them, thats ridiculous. LMAO

I was told to top it by several people but my husband already started it on 12/12 4 days ago, so i was under the impression that wasn't a good idea. If I did top it, do I need that rose wax or whatever?

My first grow too, but I think you go back in your life to school biology and remember the science behind plant growth the two two vital parts inside the plant are the xylem and the phloem cells they deliver water and minerals in one your job, and through photosynthesis chlorophyll through the other from the plants leaves. So in retrospect less leaves less FOOD (chlorophyll) Comprende.
