Let's hope those tiny leaves are the beginnings of many more. Thank goodness you didn't do what some folks do and throw out the plant. I've rescued a few 'dead' plants that people have discarded and they've thrived for me.
Looks like a mouse with weird sunglasses! Congrats on your leaves... and on having the patience to wait for them.
I am so happy for you Joe Caudex. It can be frustrating when they show no signs of life for a long time.BUT, you know that.....
So many people ask me why I would ever want to keep fatplants and my succulents, especially when they are at rest. At that time I like to let them sleep for I know when they wake up, they will give me great pleasure. I think they are beautiful and awesome. I say, whatever floats their boat. I usually keep the vines makers on their own little trellis but I think there is one fatplant, out in the greenhouse, that will be allowed to go wherever it wants to. What's nice is that if I don't like where it goes when it dies down to rest I can take it down and guide it away from certain area the next time.
WOW. Hats off! I would have given up on it looong ago! I think I know how you feel! And I THINK I'm seeing some future flowers on my C. sandersonii...
