# This new leaf took forever to come through and when it finally opened…

This new leaf took forever to come through and when it finally opened up it looked like someone bit it! Why is that? It unfurled that way. Why did it come up that way? Anyone else had this problem?

It happens, sometimes leaves get stuck and end up weird. With my monstera it did this frequently until I gave it more humidity. It’ll still happen sometimes though, but if it becomes a pattern maybe add a pebble tray

It’s just how it’s unfurled- it might flatten out a lil but will likely stay like that

I’ve been having this problem with my Monstera too, for the last few months. Advice appreciated!
