Plant Care | How not to Burgundy Princess leaf unfurling Epic FAIL | Didn't go as planned 💀
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 сер 2024
- Burgundy Princess has a new leaf struggling to get out of its cataphyll. I'm impatient and typically help my stuck leaves get out of their cataphyll. Yes, this is a NO-NO, but heck I like to live on the edge. Obviously, a few more things to learn but I will continue to help my plants. Next time I can use some water while helping my leaves unfurl. This one turned out to be an Epic FAIL!
Thanks for watching. Until next time, which I hope comes with better results.

Noob!!
@@okidokiloki6871 big noob!
@VAR yup, noob for sure.
I’m sorry for you and your princess 😭❤️
I literally just did this to my Burle Marx philodendron, I thought it was over. Then I watched your video, read some comments, and now I have hope that it’ll grow another leaf. I’m so grateful for your video. Thank you so much.
Thanks for dropping by. Agree with you at first I thought it was over for my BPP, though in time new leaves will grow back. Glad you found this helpful and gave you hope. Happy growing!
Oh no 😭 thanks for sharing.
For those watching, i normally wouldn’t help it if it’s poking out the other end. If anything, a safe thing to do is just loosen both sides of the cataphyll. That way it can work itself out. Keep the soil moist during this time as well.
I was wincing watching you pull this out, Darryl. If you look, the bend is what you want to avoid. It’s the base of the leave that is threatening to break off. Which is obviously why we wanna help it. But if you pull it out at a right angle like that it adds additional pressure on that bend. Which is why it snapped.
In this case, since the tip was already out, i would have just loosened the cataphyll to let it work itself out. Plants will do their job. Give them a little help but don’t do it for them. I’m saying this for everyones sake. It’s awful losing a leaf and ive definitely been there too ❤️ I’m sorry for your loss. Hopefully you’ve gotten a fat juicy leaf since this has been posted. 🥰
Thanks for watching and all your feedback. Since this video, yes the plant grew several more leaves since my breaking this leaf.
Hi what if I cut a slit at the side of the caterphil I have a leaf stuck in a high arch. Will the caterphil and it's leaf die?
Learned a valuable lesson here. Thank you!
Yup. Learn some, learn some more after pulling more leaves. 😂
Should've put it on amoss pole, the consists watering to keep the moss wet also helps lubricate the new leaves
Thanks for the tip.
Alway spray soft water on and in the cataphyll some minutes before trying this... It softened. More generally, since I spray my plants a lot of times by day I have never had this problem again...
Thanks for the tip. Afterwards I learned to use a wet qtip if needed to help with unfurling. Happy growing.
@@mypingtopia Thank you. You too 🙂
That tool is called an extraction tool. I use something similar at work to extract blackheads from my clients' faces. Never thought about using it to extract leaves ;).
Surprising what some tools can be used for other things. Though, I saw a wet q-tip to unfurl a leaf is way better.
mine got out of its cataphyll yesterday after i misted it several times. when i woke up, i saw the new leaf on the floor 😢 can't win sometimes
Oh no. Definitely know the feeling.
LOL! At least I'm not the only one! Try to be patient and let nature do the rest. I'm sorry I laughed at your fail, but I've been there, and it hit a nerve, I guess. Thank you for your video. I have made a promise to myself to let the next one happen (or not) on its own.
Thanks Joseph. I do appreciate a good laugh for the things we fail at. Have an awesome day!
@@mypingtopia Enjoy your weekend, Darryl. Thanks so much.
I was an avid leaf freer before. Then a complete white, white knight leaf snapped on me. Now these fellas can go and break themselves I'm not getting involved again.
All it takes is that one leaf on your favorite plant to snap and then you are done. Now, I mist them stuck leaves. Doing good so far. Thanks for watching.
I know this video is 2 years old and this same thing literally happened to me 5 minutes ago. I need some reassuring that the plant is still helathu and beautiful. Can you direct me to a video that shows this plant after this leaf disaster?
Don't worry, your plant will bounce back. It will take a bit longer like another month. Hang in there. I don't have my old photos anymore, as all I have now are my pinguiculas. Been focusing on all and everything pinguiculas. Thanks for stopping on by,.
I just broke my leaf the same way and searched for videos to see if other people did the same thing lol! Just wondering if your plant is going OK now? did it grow a new leaf?
Yes, plant is doing just fine. Grew out several more leaves and had to add another extension of the moss pole. You will notice extra spacing between leaves, but that’s it.
U can spray with water and slowly do this
My heart is broken! What have you done!! 😩😩😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Oh no. Oh, no, no, no.
So I commented that I wanted to cry for you. 9 mins later I tried it anyway and it broke 🤣 it was going to be a gorgeous leaf too hahaha
Oh man
Oh no. Got a little too anxious. Next time, because you know there’s a next time. Try a q tip. Wet it. Mist the leaf. Then wiggle the wet q tip under the new leaf trying to come out.
I really wanted to cry for you
Ugh hurts my heart! This just happened to me. The new leaf would’ve been the perfect variegation. Is it going to be okay? 🥺🥺🥺
Give it time and another leaf will come out. Just mist the unfurling leaf with water to help it along.
I had high hopes for you , sorry it didn't work out. That leaf had a pretty color too. I guess you win some and lose some..😔
🙏
I found a Monstera Aurea and have it in my care now….. it was unfurling it’s 4th leaf when I found it…..and the sheaths on the other 3 leaves never have done anything. They’re there still, but nothing has happened. I have since then gotten another beautiful leaf (first in my care) and another already coming in but will the other 3 leaves die from the sheaths that never did anything on them? I feel like it’s been too long to try anything but I am certainly willing to try if i’m gonna lose them
The three leaves with sheaths still there may end up dying. You can mist those leaves with water that may loosen the leaf from sheath, but I’m afraid if the leaves been that way for a long time, they may die. However, good that you are getting new leaves growing.
@@mypingtopia Thank you so much! Ohh MY……waiting and watch over this first leaf in my care has been stressful but she’s been a success! She’s beautiful! Thank you! Good luck with your channel! New sub here
This is exactly what I did to my pink Princess 👑 😂
It always hurts when you break a new unfurling leaf. You think you've learned your lesson and then you try it again. HAHA! Thanks for watching my vid.
🤣 still a great video. What not to do. Would love an update. What about if I used a razor blade to cut the sheath? Will that leaf die?
Thanks for watching. Sorry late reply. I don’t have this plant anymore as I transitioned to carnivorous plants specifically Pinguiculas. Though, for helping a leaf come out of the sheath, try this. Wet a q tip. Mist the stem. Twist the q tip under the new leaf coming out and I’ve seen that work. You can use a razor to cut the sheath, but you risk cutting the new inside and then you still have a damaged leaf.
@@mypingtopia thanks for this. I actually thought of using a q tip and did this but only to wet the leaf. It was to big. Mines is a very young plant so the head of the qtip was too big so I resorted to using a pin to lightly trace the leaf through the caterphil on the left. It worked but I was lucky not to damage the leaf. Also to be honest the leaf may not of been stuck I was just impatient.
@@DollyMat glad it worked out and agreed like myself I was too impatient.
Noooooo 😭😭😭
Agreed, however a new leaf grew back a month later. It’s all good.
Same thing just happen with my new philodendron dark lord 🥲 a big juicy leaf just snapped when I needed to assist it unfurling 🫠
Oh no. Sad to hear but a good lesson for us. Try a wet q tip and wiggle it under the unfurling leaf, though still no guarantee it will not break.
Gahhhhh my anxietyyyyyyyy
How long does It take the leaf to harden ? My leaf seem to take a while to open, and when it did half the leaf is, not there lol , but it's still not hardened and I have it right by my humidifier
Thanks for stopping by. From what I've noticed my philo had a new leaf a couple months ago. Leaf hardened in about 3 - 4 weeks.
@@mypingtopia ohh ok, it's been about 2 weeks now ..well that's good to knw thanks for the response
@@erinjoy5625 you're welcome. Just some more time.
So I dont want to sound silly but does breaking new leaf slow growth because ive done it a couple times now and they arent growing :'( { new to gardening}
Thanks for watching. Appreciate it. I haven't broken on the same plant, though I would expect yes to slow down on the growing since it uses energy to recover each time. Tip: If you can't help yourself from helping your plant unfurl a new leaf. I get it. Try a wet q-tip and twist it up through the new leaf. Gotta keep the leaf moist, trying it dry and forcing it is usually what causes the leaf the snap. Good luck!
@mypingtopia thanks so much my patience is lacking lol
@@MissBam91 no problem, plants test us all the time. Patience is key. Happy planting!
This exact thing happened to me today 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Oh no. Happens to all of us.
It’s called a comedone extractor 😅
Are you a surgeon or something!!! Gezzzzz! Stop it! Poor thing plant!! 😩
🤦🏻♂️
3rd x 4 me...
Oh no. Give a wet a tip twist a try. Mist leaf with water spray bottle. Then underneath leaf, slightly twist wet a tip to loosen leaf.
Looks to me like the leaf was not ready. 😡 your plant is screaming.
Yup, I was more anxious than the plant. Though another leaf has grown out with no issues.
Why were you pulling it out though? Wouldn't it come out eventually. It was like watching a traumatic birthing video where they use forceps..🙈 I'm sure it'll be fine. Chin up...
Don't you always pull on the leaf to come out? Well, I've mostly learned my lesson from this one months ago. Now, the leaf needs to be 80% out of the leaf, then I give it a helping hand. Though, I will spray with water for self help. Appreciate you watching my video. Yes, this burgundy princess is fine. Many new leaves since this video.
@@mypingtopia
My husband just got me my first princess and I see two baby leaves coming. Il just spray they with rain water to help. Ive never heard of pulling the leaf out but maybe it's a thing. I mean if the labor is progressing along well then why use intervention. 😂 Let her birth in peace..
Lol that’s a pimple popping tool.
Haha! Yes, anything that works or in this case, didn't work.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🙏🙏 nooooooooo
I can report looking back it was painful to lose a leaf, though a new leaf is fully out and continues to grow. #mistingforsure
Good job! Not!
Right?
DERRRRRRRRRRR
💀😂
