Help my 2.5 year old Montera Delicioso plant has a problem. It got a new leaf, but when the leaf went to open, it caught itself on its own stem and started ripping.. If you look at this photo, there is a tear in the bottom of this leaf that is not even open. What should I do? Just leave the leaf alone and see what happens or either something I could put on that tear?

Mist it with water. And try using a humidifier near it to se if that helps!

Wet some kitchen paper and wrap the leaf in that, leave it for an hour or so. Respeta until it starts to uncurl
