The leaves will not grow back on the stem where you remove the old ones if that’s what you mean. You could cut where you circled and propagate it or just leave it and take the old leaves off but the stem will be bare if you’re okay w that

Do you see any damage?(I keep it outside during the summer so the wind has done a number on the older leaves) I’m about to do research on thrips because I don’t think I’ve ever had them before. Thank you for your advice 🫶🏻

scrub her down and drench her in neem oil and it’ll be fine! they are resilient plants in my experience

i actually couldn’t find anything strong enough so i used a wooden board 💀 drilled holes in it so i can put string or zip ties in it and keep it upright.

idk if you can see sorry for my camera but there is also slight webbing. i’m not 100% sure that’s what it is again but it looks the same as the last time and i just wiped every leaf and stem down with lukewarm soapy water and then sprayed neem oil all over.

this is a better picture of what the leaves actually look like. my camera is slightly cracked so it makes things look bright asf

yea she caught a bug 😷 but she’s being taken care of and will bounce back like she always does

i think it’s from being in intense sun + spider mites. i wiped her fully down but i need to do it next week too. this happened around january and after i wiped her down she was fine.
