    yes. you can also propagate those leaves into new plants by putting them in soil and misting regularly

      I hadn't considered propagating. It's my daughter-in-law's plant so I'll let her know she can do that. I may take one for myself though. 😁

    It’s reaching for the light .. is the grow light strong enough ?

      I think it's strong enough but these aren't my favorite grow lights or the best ones I have. I moved it under one of the best ones after I took off some of the lower leaves to help it along and to get it to grow straight. It looks much better and hopefully will grow straight. I realized just now that I didn't take new pictures after this recent pruning. I'll have to do that.

      I added new pictures of him. I added the page to my original post so you can see the recent photos. He has a bit to go to level out the leaves but he'll get there as I rotate him. When my daughter-in-law takes him back to work, he may etiolate.
