# I chopped her but I’m wondering why she produced a small leaf when…

I chopped her but I’m wondering why she produced a small leaf when her other ones looked like the bigger one? I have another one I haven’t touched her yet for fear that I did the wrong thing to this one!

Here’s my other one I had to chop this stuck leaf and now I’m scared it too will come out stuck

I’m still learning about my PPP, but from what I’m observing it seems like the leaves come in small but grow larger in size over time. And the “stuck” leaf is how they unfurl and is normal. I’ve also been told misting helps them unfurl but mine unfurl on their own and grow larger with time!

Thank you! 😊
