That is completely normal, the pseudostem just happened to be cut where that petiole canal would have normally bent so the leaf could lay flat.

LOL okay understandable now. At times I'm not to fond of texts and chatting because you can't get peoples humor. It's ok though, the bedroom that is......after all my wife is due to give birth within the next 6-9 days

it's a d.namwah. we cut the rot off almost a week ago and it's now starting to grow. we keep the wetness dabbed up so that it doesnt cause anymore rot. it's no longer soggy and squishy, also the center growth has went up about 1/8" today. so that's a plus. it has the same soil content as the cali-gold and gets watered the same amount.

I assume that it's perfectly fine to let the watery/sap stuff sit and do whatever it usually does on the plant, correct? OR should I dab it off once a while? It's just puddling up on the leaf and dripping at times. Good growth though. Took this picture about 30 minutes ago.

Just plants being plants. Mine do it pretty often as well. When I was in grad school, I'd occasionally get 'rain' on me when I was sleeping LOL.

Here is a photo that I took about 15 - 20 minutes ago. The Caligold and D.Namwah are doing amazing. We are very stoked that we trimmed off the rot on the d.namwah a week ago because the growth on it has increased tremendously. The caligold.....well you see what it's doing. It's going to be taking over the room before spring LOL
