Those are super cute! They look great, just get them some water:)


Thanks! Yes, the last picture is the most recent. This morning, the one larger leaf that was drooped over is now more noticeably farther away from the small dry leaf below it. I started watching yesterday to see if it would revive. I was watching the space between the tip of the drooped leaf, and the top of the leaf below it. There is more distance between the two now so either the leaf is starting to perk up, or the stalk is growing upwards.

A question for all: the small leaves that are clearly dry/brown... should I trim those off or just leave them alone? I didn't know if they could be sucking the life out of the parts that are still growing or not. One final related question, in the picture I posted where the leaves were cut off when the plant was really large in March; Is there any purpose to leaving the stalks when you trim off a leaf or should you just cut the stalks off at the soil level? This would be the same concern, whether or not those stalks would still be taking energy from the rest of the plant when clearly they would no longer make leaves.

Thanks to everyone for all of the replies and helpful information!
