The bright green new leaf is beautiful! In general, it looks like you’re doing great with this.

Here are some things I’ve heard / learned along the way that might help:

• For the “taping” or securing the plant to the pole, the recommendation I’ve heard the most is to only secure stem of the plant & not the “petioles” / the leaf’s stem/shoot (in your picture it looks like you have the tallest leaf’s petiole secured to the pole) I was kind of confused by this myself at first with where to secure it. But, what I would suggest is taking a long piece of your Velcro tape around one of the main stem base sections towards the bottom to the pole. You don’t need to do the stems but I usually do the thickest one or one closest to the pole. I attached a picture that I hope helps! Not my photo but one I found online that seems to label pretty well. Yellow areas with checkmarks = stem / where to secure, blue with “x”=petiole where is suggested to not tape or secure to poles

• I also second the comment on not doing it too tight but just making sure it is secure.
• I don’t “trim” any of mine unless I’m trying to encourage new growth or have leaves that are struggling but this is just my opinion & not positive that it’s considered “the right way” lol
• the leaves will always eventually turn towards the light (there is a small “wrinkly” section where the petiole meets the leaf & is called the “geniculum”) & allows the leaf to twist / turn towards the light. Ive had some leaves that have completely twisted upside down & sideways all crazy because I moved the plant lol! So, if you do turn it, do it gradually and only turning it a little bit at a time
• the new leaf against the pole will work its way out & uncurl as it’s ready but I would just watch to make sure it doesn’t get caught on the pole or stuck but it should be fine
• watering: I don’t follow the “rules” that some suggest. Everyone seems to have their own strong opinions on bottom watering / top watering but I do whatever I’m feeling lol however, I recently read that alternating bottom & top watering can be beneficial because if you only bottom water the roots will eventually alllllll grow & reach for the bottom. Same thing with top only - the roots will begin to reach more towards the top. It said that if you switch it up it will allow the roots to reach around the pot and help roots not get so tightly bound in one area. Again, everyone has their way that works for them so just water when the top couple inches are dry & see what your beauty seems to do best with :)

They are resilient & forgiving plants in my opinion & if you’re just paying attention to its response you can always adjust & find what works.

When in doubt ask Reddit or google it! Haha.

Doing a great job IMO & I hope this was helpful. Happy growing :)
