# I’ve got trouble in paradise 😔 This is a new leaf that took her time…

I’ve got trouble in paradise 😔

This is a new leaf that took her time unfurling. I let her do her thing, no pressure. She finally started getting loose and unfurling and came down to this, this morning🥺🥺  
What could have caused this? Should I have help the leaf unfurl? Do I cut it off to prevent any damage to the rest of her?

Omg I’m having the same problem with mine. I repotted it thinking it needed more space and it’s s

Have any other new leaves done this? Did the plant go through any change lately? (Repot/new placement/etc)

#### GlowWithMo replied on 2023-10-31

No, this is the first. No changes either. It’s totally random.

I would just trim that bad boy goodbye and don’t hold it against it. LOL Maybe he was just having a bad day. I’ve been treating mine for spider mites and one of the leaves was super dramatic and it had to get chopped. But for the record - I would rarely if ever help it unfurl. 🙅🏻‍♀️ I hope it was just a random one-time thing!

BOPs are so dramatic. I’m not wasting another dollar on them.
