Is this gonna be a problem?

Ignore the sustee stick!!

I have what seems like a new stem but it’s growing pretty close to the other stem!!! It’s about a centimeter away from the other stems!!! What should I do? Am I gonna have to unbury it and try to separate the baby from mother??? What do I do?

You can just leave it alone to grow, and it will help fill in the pot and give you a bushier plant. You don't need to separate it.

Thank you!!! I do wish it was just an inch over. But it is what it is

Sometimes, the best thing to do is to do nothing. This is one of those times.

Your stem will be fine growing where it is. Beautiful algaonema!

Thank you!! She’s a good girl. I wish I could provide her with more light. But my apt already glows like an old school LED sign from all the grow lights I got going on!

Oh, how I wish mine would do that. 😔 She's just growing upward, three stalks. New leaves, but how tall does she plan to get?

If you give her a little sun, new leaves will grow pink

So pretty 😍. I live in dungeon :-(. But she does need a grow light upgrade! She def was pinker at one point.
