The new leaf on my white wizard appears to be having some trouble unfurling. Any advice, it’s been like this, curled in, for a couple days 😬

Sometimes misting helps, but it just takes time!

Ugh I hate when that happens. It seems really common in the fancy philodendrons. It’s best to let it sort itself out. I’ve broken too many poor baby leaves trying to free them. Like Welf said, misting can help. Or draping a damp paper towel around the stuck leaf

Usually takes longer than a few days to unfurl also looks good to me

This happens to me all the time and it takes all my control not to pick at it… stepsister’s feet syndrome 😆
