Does anyone know why that middle leaf is growing differently than the rest of them? It’s kind of translucent, but otherwise seems healthy has been growing relatively fast. Is this because of something that I’m doing wrong or is it normal?

Idk if it’s normal or not, but all three of my white princesses do this!

if that’s the newest leaf that could just be what it looks like before it hardens! or it could be getting a bit too much water. the pink spots on my pink princess go transparent when i accidentally overwater her, but they do go back to normal eventually.

Yeah maybe that’s it, just hasn’t fully formed yet. It was a lot smaller when I first got it a weeks ago. Fingers crossed lol
