# The new growth on my baby came out rotten! So I cut her off to make…

_Posted by Gilly on 2025-10-08_

The new growth on my baby came out rotten! So I cut her off to make sure it doesn’t spread if it’s a pest issue but I didn’t see any!! I’ve had her really close to a light as well as a humidifier right under her and she’s in a group of plants that are doing really good in that area!!

I see this tiny stem forming under the rotten stem…. And it seems to be doing good!! Should I cut that off as well? Or see how it grows? I think it might be a new leaf but I’m new to pink princesses and im not sure but my silver sword seems to love where I have her!

Ps the arrow is to show where my humidifier is!
