Yes: the only thing I have found that helps a new cutting live is removing enough leaves from it after it's cut. You pulled off a leaf and it got pressure back: good job!

If All the leaves undroop you've saved it.

What do you mean by "undroop" ?
I just removed ONE leave, should I remove the second or is it enough ?

She looks really fine right now so I think I've saved it Smiley

Drooping is when the leaves aren't stiff.

Like this.

Here is a time lapse of watering a plant and it responding by "Undrooping":


Which direction are your leaves slowly headed: Upward or Downward?
Unwilting or Wilting?

Removing the biggest leaf removed a LOT of Pores: and restored hydrostatic balance to the plant.

You SAVED her!

Is it normal that the 2 littles leaves at the top of the plant are brown / dark ?



This is the old pictures, now they are HALF brown / dark and the other half is green, I'm sorry I can't take pictures at the moment.

If the browning is getting worse then it means the cutting is not happy about something. Usually with mine it means the humidity isn't high enough. Are you spritzing the inside of your humidity chamber with water?

I don't think it will make a big difference if it is covered or not. You could try covering it up to keep as much moisture in as possible, just remove the bottle at least once a day for a few moments to let the air gases exchange. I think mostly you just have to wait and see what happens at this point.

Sometimes these things take a while. Patience is a pain in the ass (but it can be rewarding...). Mine are still recovering from a long stay in post with UPS about a week ago now. I hope you can find some encouragement with my words. Just take the best care of her you can-play her some music even. I hear plants like that.

Can someone advice me for a "shopping list" for me to put it in earth/soil in a few days ?
So, everything that I will need, I'm new to growing so that would be nice! (Perlite, size of the pot, ..)
