Hiiiāŗļø So a few weeks ago I got my first Pink Princess, madly in love with her, yada yada. My bulldozer of a dog knocked it over not long after I got it, broke a leaf. What do I do, or what can I do to help her recover? Plz help, thanksš
The leaf wonāt heal itself, sadly mechanical damage like that is permanent. Just keep doing what youād normally do to keep it healthy, but if the condition of the leaf worsens, the cellular structure may be too damaged. In that case, pruning the leaf might be worth it to conserve energy for the rest of the plant. I have some plants with tears in them and although they donāt look the best, the plant is still perfectly healthy. With new growth itāll be less noticeable. Good luck!
1 gilla So when I prune the leaf, do I just prune up to where it broke? Do I prune a lil extra?
0 gillningar If thereās another leaf node on the stem, prune just above that. If not, prune at the base of the stem where it meets the rest of the plant.
1 gilla Iām personally not a fan of cutting off portions of damaged leaves, Iām from the school of just pruning the entire leaf. Some might just cut only the damaged parts off the leaf and call it a day, but thatās up to you. It will do the same thing- prevent energy from being spent on damaged plant tissue. But the leaf will still never be a full leaf again.

Take the leaf off at the base. Sheāll be just fine
