Ahhh that’s so exciting!! Thank you!! Let me ask you this, can they also grow two leaves at once from the stems of the other leaves, like they normally do? I’m almost sure that’s also about to happen 😆

I think so, it’s rare for some plants but cool!! 😁

They can also throw off little babies, often from the older nodes, so you might have some more coming!
