What Happens When A Plant Looses Its Central Leaf?

[MattWoelfsen]

This Furan Yasuri Takakuma 鑢高隈 arrived in bloom on 07/05/13. It was lovely and I have enjoyed it tremendously (along with the rest of my Neos). As you can imagine, I take an inordinate amount of time looking and caring for these plants. This past Saturday, I checked in with them to see how they wee doing. All appeared fine. Yesterday, before going to church, I checked in with them and noticed the central leaf of this plant was completely yellow. I picked it up to examine it closely and it promptly fell off!

What happens now? Will the plant throw another fan? Will it grow around it?

This is a photo of the plant today. I did not notice this before but the two tiny growths, one visible to the left of the main plant has also died. The roots look healthy. I might have to take this apart when I get home from work this after noon.
