So I’ve tried looking this up but I don’t get the results I want. I assume this is normal I’ve just never seen this before.

What is happening and why?

Are you talking about the leaf growing out of a leaf out of another leaf? That’s normal for this plant. Pretty cute. I used to have one, but it was never happy in my care unfortunately, so I didn’t get to see much of this cool growth pattern. There’s a scientific term for this way of the leaves growing, but I don’t remember it at the moment 😅

I assumed this was pretty much normal. It’s the only leaf on the plant that has this. It is really cool
