How long does it usually take monstera leaves to unfurl? This one has been trying to for a couple weeks now.

Mine usually take like 14 days to unfurl!

Ah ok! Thank you! Hopefully soon for mine then!

This is from the time the new leaf emerges. Once it’s starts to unfurl, probably closer to 5 days

Good moisturiser levels help as well as time x

3-5 days usually. A week tops. That’s from when the leaf is fully out the sheath. My Thai and Albo are in a grow tent with 65% RH. I have an Albo cutting growing in ambient living room humidity with a new growth point that’s going to unfurl soon. We’ll see how long that takes in comparison.

I have noticed that unfurling does take longer when the soil has dried out. I’ve had leaves go from coiled to fully unfurled overnight after a fresh watering.

I watered Sunday so I’ll be a little more patient to see if that helps open the leaf. It just seems like one side of the leaf is stuck.

Increase the humidity, if you can or mist the new growth.

#### headintheclouds svarede den 2024-06-04

I’ll give it a little mist and maybe take the plant outside with me for a bit today lol it’s warm and humid out there!

That should help. Don’t put it into full sunlight. It will sunburn.
