I feel that! My pink princesses have the most trouble with new leaves getting stuck out of anyone! I’ve only ever used a warm damp paper towel that I wrapped around it for a while to help loosen it and it actually helped a lot.

I accidentally decapitated a leaf on my rubber plant and she honestly bounced back pretty well. I broke her with my arm while grabbing a plant behind her :') My neph got eaten by a cat when it was baby and it still threw too 😭

Oh girl! I have hurt so many plants by trying to “help” them. Someday I’ll learn they can hold their own!! I feel your pain. She’ll be fine. 🥰🥰

I have a pink princess and if I see a new leaf starting I’ll mist it at night and that helps. She just popped a new one that I didn’t see or mist and it didn’t turn out so nice.
