My monsteras new leaf hasn’t unfurled and it’s been about three weeks :/ in afraid it will start rotting. Anyone ever experience this before? (Sorry about blurry pic)

It might be too dry, insufficient humidity. Try misting it a couple of times a day. That should add moisture to the leaves to make it a little easier to unfurl.

If you wait a few days more and it still has not unfurled, you can use a warm damp washcloth to convince it to open

Was it repotted recently? I find that it takes longer for new leaves to unfurl after a repot

I did repot it and added more bark to the soil mistier

Mixture \*

Gotcha! Yeah sometimes that can cause the new leaves to take longer because the plant is more focused on re-establishing roots. It’ll just take time
