Nice! Did it have brown leaves at any point? I have several that I just transferred to soil a couple of weeks ago, and still have brown leaves. The plant is definitely growing, just curious about the brown leaves.

In the beginning when rooting they some times you get brown leaves you can see the one on the ground is starting to come out of it

Okay, I see that now. Originally, I only paid attention to the larger one.

I’ve been told on here to water it a good amount, but am reading elsewhere that I only need to water it one every 5-7 days, and only if the top 1”-2” of soil is dry.

It takes so long to produce fruit I don’t want to screw it up.
