This leaf on my Velvet Philo Gloriosum is starting to unfurl and it is torn. What can I do to save this leaf? Floral tape? Super glue? I really don’t want to loose this leaf. Thank you in advance, Philo Parents🪴

There isn’t anything like that but the leaf should be okay. Sometimes mechanical damage happens when they are unfurling but they are still healthy. Gives her character!! 💚💚

Well that is good to know. I just thought the leaf will get crispy and then die so this is good news! Thank you
