Thanks to both of you for responding. I so appreciate your most thorough answer, Bettydee. I'm uploading a couple of shots to see if they confirm your theory. There is a base to these 2 stalks, which I show, but I don't know if that qualifies as making it a 'Y'. Perhaps your thought it comes from 'below the 'Y' of the original plant is based on its behavior, not looks :)

Only clarification I would ask is re: fertilizer. I have 2 'balanced' ones--a Peter's 20-20-20 or a Maxsea 16-16-16. Will that be too much phosphate for it? (I'd rather not buy another, but will if the plant needs it.)
