After seeing how well my plant was doing, I was not afraid to cut off ALL of the dried up and dead leaves that had been that ugly yellow color you saw in the other images. My plant's new stem grew to have two leaves just like the first one. And again, just like the first one, its mate died and fell off...but I was hopeful yet again, because the one leaf survived. Then, out of this leaf, two more emerged!!! And then, two more emerged from the other leaf! At this point I was thrilled, my plant was growing!!!! I then noticed that the plant had an interesting quirk. A leaf from each stem had a cut in it. A little nick, you can see it really well in the bottom leaf of this image. I thought, wow, what a metaphor for life. We grow with the scars from our past still a part of who we are.
