# My philodendron white princess and white wizard’s leaves open like…

_Posted by Nicole on 2025-09-13_

My philodendron white princess and white wizard’s leaves open like this. They are crinkly, odd in color and dry. Is this a humidity issue or too much artificial light.. they are under barrina T5 grow light for about 12 hours. I water about once a week and they are all in a chunky soil mix. Help!

Looks like it’s getting too much light or possibly too much fertilizer. It may be too close to the grow light.

I'm curious about the cause/solution too. I have a leaf that is slightly crinkled and curled on my white wizard. I thought it would eventually flatten out with more humidity and increased light, but almost 6 weeks later no change. New leaves since have been fine.
