Baphomet has a new leaf coming out!! It startled me this morning on my rounds. I knew it was coming but it is always exciting when they first emerge!

Very exciting!! Did you help it out?
@PiousGermanivy nope not yet! I am very hesitant to do that cause last time I did on a pink Princess, I ripped the tip of the leaf off. ;( hopefully this guy won't need help, I may mist it a little
@JesssJungle ahh very understandable I have had that happen as well! I have also had others snap in the middle where the bend is๐Ÿซฃ I hope she comes out unharmed for you!
@JesssJungle You should increase the humidity a bit with a humidifier, my Black Cardinal Philodendron had a stuck leaf and shortly after I turned on the humidifier it got lose and unfurled itself.
@Ms.Persnickety yes it's fairly dry here right now, sometimes leaves get stuck. ๐Ÿ˜… I've never had good luck with humidifiers lol.
I used a humidity tray for my PPP when it had trouble unfurling a leaf and it made a big difference. Also I would place a damp paper towel or cotton ball around the new leaf to help it unfurl.
@ballondusoleil both great ideas, thank you!! ๐Ÿ˜„
