Happens to all of us! It’ll bounce back and the new leaf that’s growing will help you forget the lost leaf.

Like the other commenter said, it happens to all of us. And it’s always one the prettiest leaves too! 😭 I actually just did this again by accident and was in tears, but don’t worry, it’ll keep growing! ❤️

But I see a replacement leaf coming in. It’s okay.
Make sure it’s facing the light at the right angle and the new leaves will all adjust to the light.

My dog just snapped one of mine today. I taped it up so I can keep it around as long as possible.

I snapped a huge one yesterday walking into it 😬 probably should move where it sits

Put a bandaid on it. I’ve had good results wrapping snapped stems with bandaids

Place it in some silica beads and press it and frame it. There’s a few styles you can frame it in but my favorite is really difficult to do right. You flush the chlorophyll out with diluted bleach, then set it in diluted ink and the veins soak it up. You’re left with a ghostly outline of the leaf. Trendy on its own but Etsy/tiktok certainly made it popular lately.

Put a toothpick in that place and Just tape it or as someone said -a straw. All of my broken leafs and stems healed perfectly.
