How long has it been like that? I have also used wet q tips to get the stuck leaves out.

I noticed it a few days ago but waited to see if it would get better. I’ll look into the q-tip method, thank you!!

My girl does it all of the time, I would give it about 2 weeks before you try and help her. Helping her could cause damage and discoloration to the new leaf. Philodendron princess’ are called princess’ for a reason😂 You could also try giving her more humidity, they’re very dramatic when putting off a new leaf. Good luck and keep me updated!🩷

Thank you!! I’ll try to increase the humidity of the room she’s in.

Some of mine have been doing similarly to varying degrees and now have what looks like abrasion marks from the stress??  
I was given the same advice - humidity might help.  
Best wishes 🪴

My girl has been putting out leaves like crazy and the last 4 were stuck but they eventually found their way out. A lot of patience but I'm definitely trying the water now
