I am new to philodendrons, so naturally I started with a PPP. She is putting off this new leaf. Is it normal for them to look like they are struggling?

😂 Yes and she will do that on her every new leaf. Try to do research on how to easily help it, I used to help it by opening the sheath to let her out, called it C-section 🤣.

It just popped like that in the last day or so. Should I let it be or help her out? 😂

If you can do it safely, I see the top part looks good to loosen up. They said, wrapping it in a moist thin paper towel will help it on its own. Try it first? I've had one and if I didn't help it, the new leaf won't be perfect. Wait, I might be seeing it wrong. If it's still too wrapped up, I'll do the Moistened towel. Do it every day until you see progress.

Alright! I will do that and see how it goes. I am new to the PPP gang so any advice is welcomed!

Progress with just one day of a wet paper towel sitting over it.

This is super normal, I got GaRy when he was very young and I never help him unfurl a new leaf, just made sure he had the appropriate humidity and something to climb ✨🤍✨  
(This photo is actually about six month old, he’s twice this size now and climbing a bamboo stick)
