Really struggling with my pink princess. Iāve had her since June and sheās pushed out 1.5 leaves. Is it normal for new PPP leaves to take 1-2 months and look like this? Itās like sheās stuck and Iām not sure if thereās anything I can do. My other philodendrons donāt have this problem :(
I had the same issue with my PPP. Iām not sure where you live, but Iām 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. Itās so common for hybrid philodendrons, especially PPP. If you donāt 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

Iāve seen ppl use a wet qtip to let it out but Iām always too scared I will rip it so I just put a humidifier next to it
0 gillningar I think this is the push I needed to get a humidifier finally! The last leaf I did help out a little and I canāt tell if it was bad for the leaf so Iām scared to try again :(
1 gilla Yeah they r so delicate itās scary lol I bough one off Amazon for like 20$ and i like it bc it doesnāt need a whole lot of room. U have to charge it every day if ur gonna use it that much tho bc the battery isnāt great but I dnt mind it much
i have a new ppp and people told me that humidity is great for them especially when theyāre letting out new leaves! i donāt have a humidifier just yet so iāve 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 iāve avoided stuck leaves this way so far :)
0 gillningar also iām 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 iām like you donāt understand the circumstances we are dealing with here LOL
