In TWO days, I have broken TWO PLANTS that were perfect. I am just SICK. One was my Jolly Frost I showed in the three variegated girls post. The other is my huge Picasso. The Jolly Roger does not look bad. Just off one leaf to be symmetrical. I had to cut about four off! I broke two leaves from the Picasso just now. One is broken, but still on, I put a straw to hold the leaf up. I am hoping it will heal... HA!

I will have to cut a lot of leaves off to make it even. I could not bring myself to it yet. Is there ANY choice? I just thought I would ask.

I wanted to ask if you all cut to make them even when and if this happens to you.

I hit the LIGHT with my sweet J. Frost yesterday. SUPER silly thing to do. The Picasso toppled over just now. That happens sometimes, I have been LUCKY until now. :(
