Did I leave too many leaves? Thinking of removing the biggest two (the lowest leaves). It's my first time and I read up a ton before I cut it, but I'm unsure of myself on this part! Tia!

I would and then make sure the second node up is covered as well

Ahh I see! Thank you so very much for the tips!

if you don’t take the leaves, which i might not, i would def pour more water in to cover that second node with water also (:  
imo, looks good!

So I ended up shipping the bottom leaves before reading your comment ttanyaaa. Then my our baby worked sooo bad ever since... Until this morning I just pulled open the curtain to find her all parked up again! I thought I done killed her! I did ensure the second node up is now in water, too :) thanks y'all!
