Euphorbia millii problem

I have a Euphorbia millii which has droopy leaves.I know this can be a sign of over watering but I know that was not me as I have a tendency to underwater or forget altogether,hence my love of succulents!
I have just checked the roots and they were very small for the size of the plant and encased in one of those 'tea bag' thingys.
I have removed that and have just re-potted in a gritty mix and held it steady with a couple of canes.
Now wondering if I should remove some of the leaves so as not to overburden the tiny roots.
What do you think?

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
It has some strong roots and is growing new leaves.
I gradually took off the old floppy leaves as the new ones developed.
I have left it outside since May and that seems to have helped.
Bit wet at the moment as we had rain last night.
