Yay!

Just don’t want the removing of the leaf to stress her out any…?

Yay!! I would leave the leaf, the new one will grow towards the light and push the other over. Hopefully! Lol! Give it a couple weeks and see how it goes. She is looking great 😍

Awesome! Thanks so much for the advice! Excited to see how she handles these next few weeks! Gave her a little congratulatory sip to help her along!🪴🥳
