Yeah, that's my plan - - I want to get some green on those leaves so they can sustain themselves (to produce chlorophyl and all that). They were TOTALLY white/pink at first....but as they mature, they are producing some green.
By comparison, here is a picture of babies from another Alamo Jester leaf I put down at the exact same time ~ but I accidentally snapped the mother leaf off about 3 weeks ago. Note the size difference of the babies & the lack of green. Poor thing is really struggling! =(
So I am waiting to separate the babies from the mother leaf until they have a good showing of green.
