Steve,
That's good news, and now that you have explained it, I have just had the "I
should have thought of that" moment. :-)
Thanks,
Joanna

Very little, if any, in my opinion. We don't worry about a plant
making a new leaf at the top ...and making a new leaf at the base is
almost the same. The keiki will grow leaves, absorb light, and will
soon pay its own way.
