# What is with all of the damage? Lately I’ve had some leaves unfurl…

What is with all of the damage? Lately I’ve had some leaves unfurl and they are basically half a leaf. I already see the new leaf that has yet to unfurl has some damage too.

Signs of pests? It’s cold where I am is it perhaps too cold by your windows or somethingv

#### Lo replied on 2025-01-20

No signs of pests, yes cold but not too close to the window and it has a grow light near. This vine in particular has always looked rough and I just can’t seem to get a good leaf from it.

That happened to my ivy. Though it wasn’t a huge issue the one vine was just well… not cute. I chopped it off and it grew a new vine that looked much prettier. Could just be a bad vine?

#### Lo replied on 2025-01-20

Yes! It’s definitely a bad vine, always has been 😔. Don’t have the heart to chop it though

Try increasing the humidity

### Sunny commented on 2025-01-20

Check the humidity levels. Home heating systems can dry out the air and the plants especially the new growth that needs to be supple to easily unfurl. Add a humidifier, if needed.

This was happening to my adansonii and it was root rot. I cut out all the rotted roots and a week or two later she gave me two new leaves with no damage. Check the roots.

Try putting it on a heat mat and put a humidifier near it. I like to get those little essential oil disfusers when I am just worried about one plant. I would only add essential oils that can be beneficial to the plant though, or nothing, just water. A little more warmth and some humidity, and you should see an improvement in the quality of the leaves.
