I don't have solution but I know it happens.
Right now I have a rooted cutting which has only one healthy green leaf for the last two or three months. I cannot even see any apical bud for the next leaf on this plant; and this one leaf has been there since I planted another sucker plant that I had received after a 55 days trip in transit and was almost dried up dead and which is now thriving with a dozen leaves!
