Sedirea japonica

Thank you all for your replies, as this grows it looks more like new growth to me too. I hope I can manage to keep it alive!

Camille, did your plant arrive wet when you received it? Were you able to save the keiki? I honestly thought the plant was going to continue dropping leaves and then rot from the crown. This new leaf gives me hope....guess only time will tell. These are such tiny plants and their flowers are so cool!

I don't remember how it arrived. Since the pre-order value for shipping plants out of a UK show was really high we had done a group order, and they were all sent to one person who then dispatched them to the individual people. And this was back in 2009 or 2010!

I do remember that since it was a basal keiki, it never made roots. When the plant got another case of rot I was hoping the basal keiki would take over and but the rot spread to it too...
