She is getting a new leaf! I’ve had her maybe two weeks now if that, and I have been a mess about her making it. I’ve done some reading and added some river rock as it’s supposed to help with humidity when watering. When purchased she came in the fluval/perlite. I am happy to see some more growth and makes me feel like I’m doing something right. 🙌🏼

The rock underneath helps make a little cloud of humidity around your plant. The rocks should have water in them all the time. But don’t have the planter in the water, just sitting on top of the rocks. Handsome plant. Good luck.
