# So I bought this Blushing Erubescence something or other in water, I…

So I bought this Blushing Erubescence something or other in water, I don't know how many months ago. I've been waiting for leaf shoots of some sort to come out. Well... I do have new leaves but they were all inside the small glass vase! What do I do if they are growing upside down? 🙃 Do I have to sacrifice one of them? Or are they going to die anyways cause they've been under water for God only knows how long!? Help!

remove them from the vase and see if you have a tray or dish with an open top. you don't want any containers with tight necks, or they'll get stuck again. once you've removed them, place them with the leaves facing upward in the dish. sometimes they get a little confused LOL

Thank you! I was so surprised to see 5 new leaves but all inside! Lol

mine have definitely done that before. i was once propagating my tradescantia pallida and was confused why there wasn't growth.. there was, but it was all inside of the jar 🫠🫠 i just took it out and found a wider jar, and she's just fine now
