Observation #5:

The Neanthebela Plant has now been in its closed container for about five weeks. Throughout the weeks, plant's physical features has changed. This week the plant's features continue developing from the past week. Fortunately the plant continues to live.
An interesting observation I made is of this leaves' veins, and quite a few more that have  had this. The center vein seems to have darkened like the color of the soil. This line goes all the way to the stem of the leaf and causes the leaf to stand out compared to the others. Attached to this is two more leaves which are also darkened in the center. A probable cause seems to be that the center, where both leaves separate, has a growing lump of dark soil (?) that has a white looking ball.
This is a different side of the plant which demonstrates some interesting new features of the plant. For one, one leaf seems to have dark spots on it. These spots seem almost as if they are near to making holes on the leaf. They look similar to burn marks. My guess is that they were done by the soil's moisture leaking through the leaf. Strangely enough, the color of the leaves also seem different. They seem to be a different shade of green, one lighter than the other. 
The moisture of the container continues on as well. However, the moisture now seems to more on one side than the rest.
