Very appealing. I love how the negative space works here to help draw my eye to the colors and light.

The lighting for me is very appealing. I also think the dark background works well on this shot.

The backlighting contrasting with the pure black background makes this feel like an abstraction. As presented, the plant seems to be floating in a sea of black. That works really well for the abstraction. I think, however, that the leaf on the lower right is more of a distraction than something that enhances your composition. It makes me move my eye from what I think is your main subject. The flow seems to be a diagonal from the lower left to the upper right. Then I notice the leaf on the right bottom and the flow is interrupted. I don't think it is a deal breaker by any means since the main subject is a very strong subject; but I do see that extra leaf as a bit of a distraction.

Thanks for your comments, Erich. I felt that the leaf kind of carried the lines around.
I'll do an edit and repost later today to see.

This version is for Erich. Removed the leaf in the lower right corner.
While I still prefer the original, I must agree that there is no longer anything to draw the eye away from the main body of the image. After staring at it for a while I feel it is better balanced as well.
Thanks again for your analysis, Erich.

OOOH! I really like that version. It is, of course, your photo, so your preferences are the ones that count.
