Any tips for helping encourage new monstera leaves to unfurl? I recently repottted mine and it’s taking a bit for the new leaf to unwrap.

Thanks for the insight, friends! ❤️

I’ve seen people use damp paper towels by gently holding them around the leaf. It kind of loosens that hold. I tried it on another plant that doesn’t have leaves as fragile and it worked!
