Last post for now..and this will bring you all up to current date...well current as of this morning, lol!

Big has started on some new growth thankfully, as I though it was a goner for sure. The middle row of leaves pretty much dried up hard. I pinched one of them just to feel if it had any moisture in it, and it crumbled like a potato chip. No being a noob and all I was not sure if the right think to do is leave the dead leaves on, or cut them off...if I cut them off do I take the whole leave, of just the dead part...I didn't know what to do.

So after some debate with the GF, I decided to remove the dead parts of the leaves, nad took an entire leafe off from the stem as it was completely hardened...did I do the right thing here guys???

The first pic is of Big (who is looking smaller and small) after I trimmed off most of the deadness. It looks positively horrible to me...and makes me damn sad at the same time! Although I have not given up onm Big...gave him a pep talk just last night! lol

Second pic is Lil who is looking good to me. These two have been in Ocean forest for only 1 day now. Can't wait to see if it solves my tip browning issue.

Comments, suggestions welcome!!!

I'll be back to update as often as I can.
