# Hey everyone , so this leaf is looking like it’s def going to be…

_Posted by Lizzi on 2025-11-03_

Hey everyone , so this leaf is looking like it’s def going to be smaller then the rest. She was in a pot that she was very root bound and I changed her pot as she was starting to pop out. Should I be concerned about a smaller leaf or is it cause of the previous pot being to small?

👋 Mine looked very similar I thought it was going to be small as well. Turned out to be my second biggest. Give it time. Mine is also a little bigger now this is maybe a week ago photo. It also has been getting darker and darker each day from the sunlight. 🪴

You’re welcome! Here is something I learned recently, and I am making some now to try on my next waterings. 🪴

To be clear this is not for replacement of fertilizer, it just something that can be done in addition to not be wasteful of kitchen scraps. 🙂🪴
