# Both of my PPP are putting out puny little leaves. One even came out…

Both of my PPP are putting out puny little leaves. One even came out black at the tip and deformed. Any advice? I just put them both under a grow light to see if that helps. The leaf before these two was gorgeous (also pictured).

more light should almost certainly do the trick! 😊💚

Stunted leaves can be a sign of unhealthy roots. But yes I would see if the grow light helps first and then go from there
