This is Hercules, my BOP and it has a new leaf and it’s uncurling. I think it will tear the leaf. Do you help it or just leave it alone? I gave this guy a shower last night and the leaf starts to uncurl. I didn’t realize until I saw it tonight 😭

Their leaves uncurl naturally as they grow longer. Let your BOP do it's thing and you'll have a beautiful new leaf before you know it. Mine has 2 new leaves coming through and has had several more before these - I just leave them be :).
