# I feel like my new leaves take forever to unfurl on my satin pothos…

I feel like my new leaves take forever to unfurl on my satin pothos plant. Humidity is around 40%. I’m trying to be patient but it’s been long enough (2weeks+) that now I’m worries! Thoughts?

Oh!!! Try spritzing the leaves with a little mist of water. Aim for the inside of the leaf. This will help reduce friction so that the leaf isn't bound to itself and can't open up (also helps prevent damage)

Definitely need some misting. I usually do am/pm until they open.
