I just got this sad Pink Princess Philodendron from Walmart, and I’d love some advice/care tips! Literally anything lol. I know that the small leaves are due to incorrect care, and there are a few that got stuck in their sheathes. Will the unfurl naturally, or should I help them at all? I already wiped down all the leaves and stems, and gave it some water. There are two plants in the pot, and I’d like to separate them but I don’t want to do it too soon. Do I need to do anything extra for the plant, or just care for it normally while it recovers? The last picture is where I plan to keep it. Does that look like enough light? Thanks so much in advance to anyone who helps me out :) PS: Any name suggestions?!

    I had to help mine (Not pink princess) with the leaves unfurling. I’m not sure why but it was not happening on its own. I’ve heard misting helps. I don’t mist so I can’t give much there. I just got mine and she loves the sun light. I have her fresh soil and home because it was time.

      I misted the unfurling leaves, so hopefully that helps! Thanks for the other help!

    Other than recommending soil change if you haven’t already- then idk. I personally just like using fresh, clean soil that I mix up for the specific plant. Then again I’m so new- idk if it is actually helping much other than my peace of mind. Definitely need to call her something along the Pink Princess theme. And with the new Barbie movie… that’s exactly what I’d call her- Barbie 😂
