first leaves done.

the two first leaves that were on it when it first came out of the ground just died......is this normal?
i hope so, cuz the plant is getting little white stuff all over it.......like on the stem itself, kinda like crystals......whats this?

-frank the tank!

it is normal for these leaves to fall off.

and that white stuff your talking about is just dead skin sorta, totally normal, it will fall of eventually

your talking about the 2 leaves that come out before any other leaves? the knd of round ones, the non-fan leaves?

yeah.....
and it doesnt look dead at all.....its like really crystally all over the entire main stem, like really light green and kinda like its covered in snow almost, but not too extremely covered.......

does it look something like this:



if it does then it's ok =)

naw, its huge......
like atleast a foot
