Hey! The time leaves take to unfurl really varies per plant as well as what type of care they’re receiving , climate, etc..

I’ve had this issue in the past with my Philodendron Splendid & I found that misting helped speed this process as well as increasing the humidity with the humidifier!
@elisenavidad oh thank you I’ve been misting her and it’s been slowly unfurling and this was water damaged by the plant store as the lady watered it too much when I bought it. πŸ₯Ή
@PoignantAlula33 oh I see, I think you’re on the right track! Now we wait 😭😭
@elisenavidad I totally agree with @PoignantAlula33 That the increase in humidity helps the plant unfurl the new leaves faster. My Philodendron Black Cardinal did the same thing. I also removed an older leaf from the bottom of the plant. So instead of spending energy on an old leaf the plant could spend its energy on the new leaf! Anything to help the new growth!
@elisenavidad the wait is killing me hahaha
@Ms.Persnickety can I just cut the ones with damage?
@PoignantAlula33 Sorry, just saw your question. Yes you can remove some damaged leaves to encourage new growth.
