it looks fine to me.

#### Autumn replied on 2025-01-12

newer leaves are usually a light green.

It's a bit droopy though, is that still considered normal?

### Claudette commented on 2025-01-12

Agreed, I think it’s just a new leaf that recently unfurled. Good luck!

(Commented this up top as well) It's a bit droopy though, is that still considered normal?

This is normal for a new leaf to be a different color and have a kind of floppy texture until it hardens off, and gains it's 'big boy coloration '
