I repotted all of my plants a few weeks ago and then didn't transition them slowly enough to being outside for the summer. A bunch got burns. Last weekend, we had a short but fast and windy thunderstorm roll through which knocked over several plants. My little andersoni (Swiss cheese one) lost two other stems that I am trying to prop now, but this one is hanging on.

I'm seeing new leaves on most of my plants. The tiny Monstera deliciosa on the left grew from roots I hadn't cleared out when I decided to behead the larger plant (which also has a new leaf). Those two leaves popped out within a few weeks of each other!

I'm hoping I can avoid any other major issues over the rest of the summer, but I'm still learning a lot.

Don’t give up! The best lessons in gardening (& houseplants) come from “failures.”

Your babies look fantastic—please post updates!

Thanks, I will! I only give up when the plant really gives up (or ants invade and it's not worth it--RIP spider plant).
