Is there anything you guys would recommend to help the philodendrons push out fresh leaves?

They frequently get caught up in the surrounding tissue. I tried misting more which doesn't seem to help, and me trying to aid them to unfurl properly usually just damages the leaf more:/

Thank you!🧡🌿

A humidifier in the area.

Using a humidifier is better than misting. It puts out water vapor with droplets that are smaller in diameter making them easier to absorb into the plant. 🪴🍀

You need a humidifier for sure
