# Hey guys! I have a Philo Prince of Orange that I have a question…

Hey guys! I have a Philo Prince of Orange that I have a question about. Last summer some of her leaves didn't unfurl well, I think due to needing to be fertilized. Should I trim those older, scrunched up leaves? Or should I leave them?

My silver sword philodendron was doing this too so I started helping the stuck leaves out when they were scrunched up- kinda near the end of their unfurling process and I could just pull the top out of the petiole. Also increasing the humidity helps them unfurl a little easier. I mist my philos every few days
