Hello, the first picture is of a plant that I re-potted because the root was growing crooked. So I cut the root and replanted it but it's still growing crooked. So now I don't know what to do with it. I don't want to cut it to close to the leaves or they will fall off. But if I cut it any further down, the root will still be crooked. Any help or suggestions please. The other photo is of some leaves I am trying to grow a new plant from. But they are growing anything new. I'm not sure why because I have another little cup like this one and it already has some new leaves that I need to repot into their own pot. But this one doesn't have any and there are lots of roots.. it's suck to the cup. Do I just give up because it's not going to grow new leaves or what should I do? Thanks.
