my pink princess does this a lot, not really much you can do besides up the humidity. i heard that wrapping a wet paper towel around it could help unfurl it but i haven’t ever tried

Do your leaves come out okay if you leave them?

#### earth2mik replied on 2025-05-14

i think so, this is an older picture but i remember the newest leaf here had that issue

it just took longer for it to fully unfurl

You can mist it to assist but the best method for your leaves to unfurl on their own without damage is to use a humidifier. I use to have this trouble with my Pink Princess until I start using one

I mean, I have them by my bath and I take baths every day. I didn't think humidity would be a problem. Also I can't out a humidifier there. 😩 Maybe I'll move it.
