# I found this leaf a couple of months ago and wasn’t sure what to make…

_Posted by Doni on 2026-05-08_

I found this leaf a couple of months ago and wasn’t sure what to make of it. I thought I’d let it rest on some succulents soil and whatever happens…been about 8 weeks more or less and to my surprise the tiniest of roots have found their way into the soil 😍  
Any guess what it might be?
