Ooh! Are these new leaves coming in? And are the brown edges on the sheathes an issue at all?

The browning is normal. Those are old cataplylls. No biggie. Those might be new leaves!!! The stem usually plumps up before it releases a leaf. Here is the newest leaf on my giant momma monster. She just emerged this week. Hope it helps you visualize what yours might look like!

Ah!! Ok. I do see one exciting thing going on :) that’s on one of her main stems. The store chopped it and looks like it’s growing back
