Looks like a root! They tend to grow a bunch around the base of their stem

She’s lost almost all her leaves except 1 😭 but she’s growing ? lol have any idea if she’ll push out another leaf ?

#### send\_nodes replied on 2024-07-02

Yeah as long as she has healthy roots, new leaves will come in :)

If she loses the last leaf, it’s possible that she’s going into dormancy

Thank youu, I just checked between her last leaf and there’s also another nub lol guess I’ll have to see when it grows out more 🥲
