Hello! I am still very new to house plants.
My husband got this pink princess for $20 from home depot for me.
It was really big and needed a repot ASAP.
It was root bound and couldn't hold itself up.
I transferred it to the biggest vase? I have and I filled it with leca. I only add water to just below the roots.
As soon as I'm able to afford buying an actual bigger pot with drain holes for the semi hydro, I will.
So… she was already pushing out this leaf when we got her.
I sadly had to cut off a few leafs because of the damage they had.
It took probably like 2 weeks for this leaf to come out to this stage.
I noticed though this growing from the new leaf.
Is it pushing out another leaf with the new leaf?
You can see my baby Thai con also pushed out a new leaf.
Since I moved them to this window, they started pushing leaves out.
I also have alocasia corms in leca that are pushing leaves out like crazy!
I think they are alocasia hehe…
Thank you in advance.

That is future growth, yes, but it’s still a long way from becoming a leaf.
My pink princess does the same thing. 🙂
i’m sure you got your answer i just wanna add you don’t have to cut off leaves just because they’re damaged. the plant can still use the leaves for photosynthesis.
All my philos always do this. Also some of my synoniums🫣😍
my white knight does the same thing!!
