# Do my eyes deceive me???👀 Or is this a Brazil…. Sometimes I don’t…

Do my eyes deceive me???👀

Or is this a Brazil…. Sometimes I don’t always pay attention to the cuttings I’m given bc it’s nice to be surprised when foliage starts to show in props… somehow I don’t notice the neon coming in… can yall please help verify if this is a true baby Brazil?

Looks like it to me!

The look on my face when I noticed the glowing green!!!! 🤭😍

Watching mystery plants grow and discovering what they are is one of my favorite things to do with plants

Now the REAL question… all those nodes….. such a long stem on her…. Do I break it down and attempt two from this cutting or let it go for now…. Decisions… 😅

#### Isabella replied on 2025-05-15

I'd probably give it some time since it only has the one leaf

#### Dory replied on 2025-05-15

Executive decision is to let her grow. She has roots but also new foliage attempting to grow so I’m going to let her do her thing

Thank you!!!!

Certainly is! Looks like my Brazilian

### Dory commented on 2025-05-16

I just wish I could remember where that cutting came from! 😅

### LadyTenorJD commented on 2025-05-19

Definitely looks like some of the leaves on my Brazil. One of my favorite plants!

#### Dory replied on 2025-05-19

It was on my wishlist! So now it’s being added to one of my sites. And located the other cuttings that I had that were from the same stem… leaves on one and fingers crossed on the other
