I want to just show off these incredible leaves but also have a question - why are the leaves crinkly like that? Does it mean she needs fertilizer? She’s been growing like crazy - there’s at least 5 more leaves coming out!!!

Mine have started out wrinkled as well as with some odd colorations, but have flatten out and changed color over time.

I would care for as recommended and mist regularly to help the new leaves unfurl.

Best wishes 🪴

This photo shows how the start out wrinkled. Sorry, I don’t know why I can’t post photos all together.

Thank you so much!! I hadn’t noticed it before or on my other philos so I was a bit worried. 😊

I was as well initially, which prompted me to offer some feedback.

I’m a fairly new PP parent and have been learning with time. It would be nice to have a community of PP parents, so feel free to reach out anytime. 🪴

They eventually flatten out beautifully.
