Makaha Sunn... Success, I think it will live!

So I did fall in love with Makaha Sunn despite warnings of it being temperamental and delicate... It was my one "had to have" even though I am a newbie and could end up killing it. They aren't cheap, even a rooted small single tip, but of course I fell in love with this big SUPER fat cutting from Matt H.
I planted a ton of assorted cuttings two months ago and all except this one took off within a few weeks... But this one had no leaves emerging and decided to sunburn instead. So it wore its little toilet paper tubes and didn't get any water like its neighbors got. It didn't shrivel at all so I've been having breakfast every morning next to it and talking to it :). Or begging maybe.
This week it got a TON of leaves so it will get its first water now!!!
Thanks to everyone for posting advice, I think you helped this little guy live for now. I hope I can keep it alive for next year, it might be "the one" that gets to sleep in the house :). I'm sooooo excited to see leaves though, you have no idea!
