Thank you All for your replies! I have to admit, my post was driven by a bit of disappointment that's why the spontaneous use of sarcastic metaphor ( the ostrich egg = something that would never happen) when decapitate a meconostigma. Contacted the seller and the reply is: " I’m sorry about that. I broke the previous leaf while I was packing it. It is not the growth tip and the next leaf should come out fine." "Previous" obviously means the youngest or the last. And just as DYZZYPYXXY predicted I have to wait until summer to see if a new leaf appears. A few days before Goeldii I found LaryAnn's Jungle Whisper (on the left in the last two pics) and wanted very much to see how they grow in time next to each other. Both are seedlings but G. is parent of JW. That all thing with the damage plant threw a bucket with ice on my head and I am calming down ready for a grey and dreary nj winter. Am I a meco-nut - don't know. But I have a patience - upstairs, under the south window three cryosophilas are giving me one leaf per year ( they are my "speed demons").
(can't up the one with JW; will try latter)
