I am having a heck of a time trying to research why she is the way she is and what to do about it. She’s definitely alive. I harvested a lot of little baby seedlings in her roots (which are growing beautifully btw). I’d love if someone can help me understand why she is the way she is and what I can do to promote stem and leaf growth.

Thank you for this info! I feel like this applies to just general care though. I’m looking to learn specifically what happens when I have a healthy stump, how to stimulate stem/leaf growth.

It’s very happy, I’ve harvested a lot of seedlings that are growing beautifully and I think mama are growing more in the roots. I’m just confused why she be like she be 😅
