I wanted to see how this baby would do if I just took two leaves that had fallen off of the momma plant and stuck them in some dirt. Let me tell y’all I had ALL the faith. lol I figured I’d keep watering my two leaves in dirt for as long as they weren’t dead looking. Seems it paid off!! I have new growth finally after maybe 5 months of waiting? 😊 so proud of myself.

I thought my fang plant leaves were doing absolutely nothing (since April) until I checked them this weekend and, I’ll be darned! They did do something!

I thought mine were never going to amount to anything 😆

I forget sometimes that plants require patience. 😄
