# I am so proud of myself for the growth on this baby! When I rescued…

I am so proud of myself for the growth on this baby! When I rescued him from Lowe’s he had three crispy leaves and now thriving constantly putting out new babies! Should I be concerned of the little holes on the newish leaves? I have not noticed a single pest!

The new leaves are so pretty!  
I’ve noticed some of this on my plant as well.  
The only thing I’ve been able to find online is manual damage. Apparently the leaves are easily ripped/torn. So my guess is maybe as they unfurl it could cause that? 🤷🏻‍♀️ it’s my best working theory.
