I have two bonsais which are money plants. I think that's what they're

a bonsai rather than a regular house plant?

Hi Michelle:

The leaves on a money plant are normally about 2-3 inches in length.
If that is what you have you can not "shrink" the leaves. Things like
leaves, flowers and fruit are the same size in your bonsai as they are
in a normal full grown tree. You can "leaf strip" the tree by pulling
or cutting the old leaves off. This will cause the tree to make new
leaves assuming it is healthy otherwise. You can and should trim the
roots of the tree to keep it small. I do this every two years when I
replant the tree in new soil.

I hope this helps.
