Smile Just when I was about to loose hope...

I've mentioned this den in a fe other posts; it's one of the 5 I got right before Christmas. I was worried about it, because while all the ohters were putting out new roots and growths this one wasn't and just kept dropping leaves.
I've been going about the normal Dend watering schedule along with the others; treating it exactly the same as the others(light, temp, water, ect...) The peson I had bought it from cut back all of the older pbulbs, so I thought maybe it just didn't have the strength to thrive.
Then today while watering, I noticed this:

FOUR new growths! Just out of nowhere, here they are. I've had a bit too much caffeine today, so the pictures may be a little blured due to my hands shaking a bit.
I guess they really do thrive on neglect!

I know it seems like a small thing, but to me it's HUGE, I've never been able to keep a Den alive let alone grow. I just wanted to share it with you all and thank you for all your help since I've joined. I could have never done it without all of you!

I like to think it's thanking me for the "cheap ugly pot" I painted for it, lol. (That's what the top of the pot says)
