After taking out some Ae Ae pups, i found a few broken pups that were not worth keeping. But one looked like a little tuber about the size of a quarter. I could not even figure
top from the bottom. In less then 2 weeks I have a leaf. It's less then an inch.

Now 2 days later I see some fungus. I will try some Subdue Fungicide tomorrow. The smaller it is, the harder it is to keep it alive. I don't think it will live, no matter what I do.
