# My new Pink Philodendron with stunted growth due to Walmart care is…

_Posted by Eliya on 2023-08-25_

My new Pink Philodendron with stunted growth due to Walmart care is pushing out a new leaf, but it appears to be stuck. I know how to free the leaf, but I’m not sure when is too soon or too late. Any advice? :)

i once heard that wrapping a steamed cloth around the leaf gently for a while can help. i’ve never tried this before just seen it and i think it worked !

I’ll research it!

Looks very early in opening process. Might want to wait a little while.

#### Eliya replied on 2023-08-25

I think I will, thx!

Mine does this too.  
I help the opening along so the leaf doesn’t rip sometimes misting helps

#### Eliya replied on 2023-08-25

I’ve been misting, so hopefully it helps!

Looks a bit too early to me.
