Really struggling with my pink princess. I’ve had her since June and she’s pushed out 1.5 leaves. Is it normal for new PPP leaves to take 1-2 months and look like this? It’s like she’s stuck and I’m not sure if there’s anything I can do. My other philodendrons don’t have this problem :(
I had the same issue with my PPP. I’m not sure where you live, but I’m in Florida. I put them on the porch and they took off because of the humidity. It pushes out a new leaf every other week now.

Yep, agreed. It’s so common for hybrid philodendrons, especially PPP. If you don’t have a humid place to put it, folks have said they have success draping a damp paper towel over the stuck leaf for an hour or so

I’ve seen ppl use a wet qtip to let it out but I’m always too scared I will rip it so I just put a humidifier next to it
0개 좋아요 I think this is the push I needed to get a humidifier finally! The last leaf I did help out a little and I can’t tell if it was bad for the leaf so I’m scared to try again :(
좋아요 1개 Yeah they r so delicate it’s scary lol I bough one off Amazon for like 20$ and i like it bc it doesn’t need a whole lot of room. U have to charge it every day if ur gonna use it that much tho bc the battery isn’t great but I dnt mind it much
i have a new ppp and people told me that humidity is great for them especially when they’re letting out new leaves! i don’t have a humidifier just yet so i’ve been slightly misting the stems just where the new leaves show up (sometimes i wet my finger and run it rlly gently over the area) and i’ve avoided stuck leaves this way so far :)
0개 좋아요 also i’m a michigander too so i understand how dry it can be.. people keep telling me the kinds of plants that i have are usually fine in indoor humidity levels and i’m like you don’t understand the circumstances we are dealing with here LOL
