I’m fairly certain that the new leaf has rolled up in itself. I didn’t even know this was a thing! Can I fix this? It feels hard…  
\*\*\*edit\*\*\* I carefully helped this leaf (new pic added); it was poking inside another leaf. Once I took care of that, she easily unraveled. Not sure if I was supposed to to mess with it, but it was stuck for over a month.

Use a hand held cloths steamer to give it a lot of humidity, because humidity is usually the issue with new leaves struggling to unfurl and it may also be a lightning issue.

Looks a lot better now that it's fixed! What variety of philo is that?

I think this is a Prince of Orange

You can mess with them.. you can also wrap them in a warm moist paper towel and lightly rub. The prince and princess line is Freakin horrid at cataphyl production. The minute I see one popping out, I mist the crap outta it till it opens.
