IN this one it looks like 4 younger leaves at the soil level , then abare
area with a whole lot of roots(?) coming out, then a lot of more mature
leaves This is a Dtps Brother Vanessa Hannay "Deleon #1" if it makes any
difference at all. Just repot at the leve l of the lower leaves?


This plant appears to have a basal keiki. That is a baby growing
below the main plant off the base stem of the main plant. Treat it
gently when you take it out of the pot. You should be able to grow
Mom and the baby if your careful. On the other hand if the mix is not
rotting you may want to wait to repot until baby is larger.
