That leaf started growing in March, and I think has been about the same size for a month. Is this common for a philodendron ring of fire? This is my only philodendron so any advice would be appreciated!

I have fertilized and water it when it dries out.

Yes, that seems normal to me. Ring of Fire is much slower of a grower than most philodendron

Ok that’s such a relief, thank you! I knew it was a slow grower but DAMN lol 😮‍💨

#### send\_nodes replied on 2024-06-03

Right? Lol  
Also, how long have you had it? It might still be getting established if it hasn’t been that long

I would say, that is not normal. My ring of fire has pushed out about three leaves since March.

#### Freedomskai replied on 2024-06-03

Oh :( any idea how to fix it?

#### Melanie replied on 2024-06-03

I can’t really say for sure because I’m not an expert, but perhaps more lighting and humidity might help. I’ve never had a philodendron leaf get stuck and not grow and unfurl.

#### Freedomskai replied on 2024-06-03

Ok! I’ll try that

#### Melanie replied on 2024-06-03

Good luck!
