Hey there! Can anyone post some pictures or video of the process of fresh vegetative growth on kratom trees? Im not much of a botanist, but i see at the top of the stem, two more rigid leaf nodes. I can’t tell if new growth is starting or it’s stalling. Some of the lower node coverings rubbed off. If one leaf is trimmed from a set, will it sprout more? At what precise points is it best to clip for cuttings and bushy growth?
The top set of leaves when my cutting first arrived were more red/pale green, but have grown slightly and turned a more normal darker green with sun exposure. Will a new set of leaves sprout from the top node coverings soon?
Ive tried to google and look around but there arent a whole lot of clear chronological pictures showing the process of kratom’s growth. I guess i’m getting a little eager to see it happen!

Don't have a lot of time to answer all your questions but I'm going to post a bunch of pictures so hopefully this helps.

@SubstanceTheSqid it was a video idea I had after I made the Kratom seed pod video. It took me 2 months to make this video so idk how long it would take to do the leaf video.
