I think it is a good practice to have, maybe not as much outdoors as indoor. One for the energy to finish the flowers, and then what Solo said about airflow. I would also imagine the stress is also good for the plant to trigger a defense.
I used to love eating the leaves raw, it has so many benefits health wise. :)
Those raw leaves are rough and make me cough.
Yeah, I think that's what happened in my case.
