What to do when a new leaf on a Borneo King Alocasia gets stuck?

By ForwardPlant Team
When a new Alocasia 'Borneo King' leaf gets stuck, increased humidity is key. Mist the plant or use a humidifier to soften the sheath. You can also gently massage the base of the unfurling leaf to encourage separation, but avoid forcing it, as this can damage the delicate new growth. Patience is essential, as the leaf will usually free itself with proper moisture.
