I had that with one of mine....I eventually helped it right at the end!!!

You’re more patient than I am! I have a bad habit of helping mine even when they probs don’t need it. Lol.

### Mrs Daniels commented on 2026-02-09

I sprinkle water on my plant, it seems to work lol

#### Dani replied on 2026-02-09

Yeah, I’ve been gently, spritzing it a little hoping that helps

### lyssxgardens commented on 2026-02-09

literally so true 🤣🤣🤣😭

BTW, I have found that “helping” a plant frequently turns out to be a mistake, meaning I’ve unfortunately damaged several of my plants by trying to help them out. At this point, I’ve learned my lesson, and just enjoy the process of what’s happening, without interference. Patience is the name of the game if you want to have a great plant!

#### Dani replied on 2026-02-09

Oh yeah, I’ve been burned by my own impatience. So this will be coming out on its own.

I usually drape a wet paper towel over mine when it does this

#### Lynda replied on 2026-02-10

Where did you get this idea, and why do you think it works? TIA!

#### Dani replied on 2026-02-10

I’ve actually read this online as well. My white wizard doesn’t love to unfurl new leaves. But I kept being impatient and breaking them (as mentioned above I’ve been burned lol) so now I just leave it no matter how long it takes.
