Am I really supposed to just wait?


People online recommand to Not do anything and say the leaves will eventuell come Out. I already sprayed the plant with a bit of water but Not Sure If Just waiting ist the best bet. Otherswise the plants seems okay. I Just got it 1 week ago. It is a philodendron melanochrysum. It gets enough light.

    As hard as it may be to just watch and wait, WATCH AND WAIT!! Humidity will help. Ideal is like 60% – 80% humidity. If you live anywhere that’s humid pop it outside.

    Edit: spelling

    I disagree with the people who say you absolutely shouldn’t do anything in cases like this. I think you can help the leaf if you want to. There’s a couple things you can do. You can wet a cloth/paper towel with warm (not hot!!) water and gently wrap it around the petiole and hold for like 30-60 seconds. Steam can also help, especially warm steam. I have heard some people use an iron to steam the petiole (but you have to be extremely careful and not get the iron too close to the plant ofc). Humidifier can help as well. And spraying water, like you have already done, can help too! I have helped a stuck philodendron leaf just by spraying water on it for multiple times

    In my plant rooms I have a big pot of water with a cheap water pump and cheap water heater as the water evaporatives it creates a nice warm humid air that is perfect in winter and the sound of running water is so relaxing

    If a leaf is looking like it’s stuck, I sometimes wet a paintbrush and gently ‘paint’ water in that area. Works great.

    Take it into the bathroom with you when you shower. The humidity will help

    🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ when mine are like this. I take my pinky nail at the bottom of the “skin” it’s already separated from and gently slide up and it peels it off the plant like a sticker, and then I do the other side like that. And the leaves pop right off. 🫠 that’s just me tho! Never had a problem.

    The pieces it’s stuck on are like a wrap. There’s 2 pieces one on both side. One wraps around the flesh of the new leaf , the other wraps around right on top of the first one!
