Hello Gin , I'm sorry to hear that only one out of the five is female, that is very rotten luck . However next time it could be the other way round, it really is the "luck of the draw" I'm affraid.

She does look very nice though Gin and I wouldn't worry about the bottom leaves, my own feelings towards dead and dying leaves is to cut them off. To me they are just wasting energy from the rest of the plant, however that is just my view
