It's officially been 5 months! So here's the 30 May update:
Let's start with the good news
This guy looks luscious
And ROOTS!!!!!!
I don't want to get ahead of myself but this looks like it's going to turn into a new leaf!!!!
I'm so happy that this guy is alive and well!!!!
(Big thanks to

Ok now for the more troubling news
I'm so happy that I did the "how long will these things last" experiment with the sacrificed white leaf. The first symptom I saw was a sort of shriveling. Which is exactly what this leaf is doing. In the photo you can see how it's curling backwards. I upped the watering schedule, but he doesn't seem to be improving. He lasted for 5 months with no roots (side note, THAT'S INCREDIBLE!).
I'm going to pray that this little guy makes it through 🤞 I'm going to just water and leaf (
) him alone for another month or so. If there's no progress and he starts to go the way of the leaf sacrifice I'm going to stick him in water as an experiment.
I feel sometimes like I'm updating into the void. So if you're out there and reading this or if it's helpful let me know! 💗
