Hey there, sounds like your plant’s being a bit stubborn. Here’s the lowdown on what might be going on and what you can do about it.
What Might Be Happening
Slow Growth:
Some plants just take their time. It doesn’t necessarily mean something’s wrong. If the plant looks healthy otherwise, it might just be a slow starter. Sometimes, patience is key.
Possible Mutation:
Occasionally, plants end up with mutations that cause weird growth patterns—like deformed leaves or no new leaves from the center. If you’re seeing strange, non-symmetrical growth, it could be a genetic thing.
Light Issues:
Too much light too early can stress your plant and stunt its growth. If the growth tip looks burnt or damaged, your light setup might be too intense. Dialing it down could help the plant recover and start growing normally.
What You Can Do
First off, give it a bit more time. Keep an eye on it for any signs of new growth. Plants can surprise you and suddenly take off when you least expect it.
Next, check your lighting. If you think it might be too strong, try moving the light a bit further away or reducing the intensity. Plants can get light-burned if the lights are too close or too bright.
Also, inspect the growing tip. Make sure it’s not damaged or burnt. A healthy growing tip is crucial for new leaf development.
If, after some time, nothing seems to change and your plant isn’t growing any new leaves, it might be quicker to start fresh with a new seed. Sometimes, that’s just how it goes.
In the meantime, keep the conditions optimal—right soil, proper watering, and the right amount of light. Stay patient and keep those good vibes flowing. Your plant will likely bounce back and start growing strong.
