# Awhile back I accidentally broke the newest growth/leaf off of my…

_Posted by Dani on 2026-04-08_

Awhile back I accidentally broke the newest growth/leaf off of my white wizard, in a heroic attempt to free it (actually I did it twice. cough cough huh? what? who said that?) and I thought it would be interesting to show others what has transpired since I LET ‘ER BE to heal from my well-intentioned helicopter (plant) parenting busybody-ness.

The blue original growth area did eventually grow a mediocre leaf, but I’m counting maybe up to 5 new growths from the breaking point!
