I don't know if it was a fluke, but when I first received my hangs, they were dry from shipping for close to 3 weeks, when I unpacked them, I soaked them in dilute coconut water mix, over the next 2 months a new leaf on each, shot out a good half to three-quarters inch long, next season they were slow to grow with even watering schedule, so this winter I've again withheld water for 2 weeks and let them dry out, new leaf tips have emerged well and seems to be a bit faster this time around.
