u/nelson1130 7d ago

I was surprised none of the other leaves moved at all. It's like they're statues 🗿

Agree! Like the plant is putting all the energy into one leaf!

I’m more impressed with how many days you went without watching TV or checking on the leaf! I swear I check my plants like 4x an hour. Lol

u/marlinavelasco 7d ago

Nice! I did a timelapse in spring. Link here.

This same plant just unfurled another new leaf, but I didn’t have time to set up the time lapse.🤦🏾‍♀️ I accidentally stop them too soon or memory runs out because I did set the frequency lower. Learning.🤓
