They are NOIDS, but I don't care. They are my first babies, so they are very special. Now I know I can grow from leaves. Whoo hoo!! Yippee! I'd take a pic of my big smilin' face, but I haven't showered yet and don't want to scare y'all! LOL!

How do I cut back the skirt on this one? It's growing under it's Mama. The big mother plant died, and I was sooooo hoping some of the leaves would take, that was all I had left. Now I'l have to come up with NOID names for them, since they'll be living and I can send them out as gifts. Ok, how much of the Mama leaf do I remove so the baby can get light? Do I wait to remove it, or should I cut it away now?

Thanks!!!!
