What I did was to cut all the leaves leaving about 1/2" of the stem on the trunk or branch. Then I pulled them out of the pots, shook the dirt off the root ball and put them into some 15gal pots I have. I have 16 so I put 8 into each pot and covered the root balls with perlite. I'm in Houston at the moment or else I'd send you a photo. I'll try to remember to take a few when I get home tomorrow and post.
