Greg,
Waterlillies make the leaves (at the least the initial ones) from food
stored in the bulb. If you continually remove the leaves this energy cannot
be replaced the plant will continually go down hill. It is the same if you
trimmed the leaves off of an aponogeton...it would keep making leaves until
you killed it.
