I accidentally broke my pink princess’s brand new leaf and the leaf that’s been incubating :( is there any hope for her? Can I prop the broken leaf??

MadisonUnfortunately you can’t prop the broken leaf since it doesn’t have a node attached. 😣 Happens to everyone sometimes!

Id give it a clean cut as close to the next node or leaf down as possible redirect its energy to a new growth point.

Like where the two little nips are, or close to where it branches apart?

Thank you!! Do you know how long it’ll take for it to give a fresh leaf?

you should hopefully see a new growth point developing within a few weeks! if not, it may need more light.

Morgan Picillo 🖤 🌿Awww I’m sorry!! 😔 Just like Madison and Dani, said it happens all of us, don’t sweat it! Hopefully in a few weeks, they’ll be another one ready to pop 💚

Thanks, I hope I trimmed off in the right spot 🥲 is there a way that I could get it to be less leggy? Like what could I do to stimulate more growth lower on the stem if possible

The only way to get more growth from the bottom would be cut it down so it will branch out. You could then propagate what you cut off and add them all together to make a fuller pot! If you want to go that route I can find your ticket and send the info over just let me know 😁

Yep, I have a white wizard philodendron and I was like “oooooo look at that pretty new all white leaf. Let me look at it closer” and it was like (snap!) “don’t touch me.”
