# I had to do a HARD prune on my plant, because its previous leaves…

I had to do a HARD prune on my plant, because its previous leaves were turning yellow and to save the ENTIRE plant I had to cut them. I have three what you call, “dormant buds” that look like they are trying to form stems. Ugh…this is THE slowest plant growth I’ve EVER experienced in my life 😩 🪴
