I had chopped my PPP bc it was reverting badly. It stalled this leaf for 3 months in its sheath before finally starting to grow again! I had to do surgery bc the leaf actually hardened INSIDE the sheath before unfurling, but she survived 😭

Nice! How did you get your PPP leaf to unfurl? I have one that I bought at Home Depot and it’s been unfurled for 3 weeks now. Bright indirect light and humidity almost daily!

I actually popped it out of the previous leaf (despite what everyone says, idc lmaoo) but thankfully I was careful enough to not rip anything

I tried waiting a little using just higher humidity but nothing helped me honestly

Im thinking of adding her inside a large glass with pebbles in front of a bright window to see if high humidity and bright light will help her.
