When you make a cut on the pink princess it always promotes or encourages more new growth. If that leaf you cut was green I bet you get a pretty pink variegated leaf when it unfurl 😊😊good luck

You will I’m sure this is my prissy and since I made one cut of a damaged green leaf at the bottom I have had 3 beautiful pink ones unfurl 🙏🏿

I bought mine about two months ago. I moved itntonwater and a leaf was beheaded by my wire rack. Now, it has the most beautiful pinknleaf growing!! I had no idea it would promote growth!
