That’s a new leaf!

leaves get stuck like this sometimes if the air is dry. it will work its way out eventually but if it takes too long and the leaf begins to distort as it grows you can gently pry it out with your fingers or a dampened cotton swab. it’s a good idea to keep your nails trimmed like in the photo because long nails can easily accidentally damage young, tender leaves. running a humidifier is a good permanent fix for this sort of situation, though i hear some plants (philodendrons mainly) are very prone to stuck leaves regardless

Gotcha. Not much I can do ab the humidity besides misting more— I’m in a college dorm that’s moldy to begin with.

Looks like the leaf is stuck. Usually when that happens with my plants, I just leave it alone and the leaf sorts itself out eventually.

So you’re saying you…leaf it alone? Heehee!
