Anyone have any ideas as to why my leaf is curling in? Also I feel like it’s been growing this new leaf for ages and not unfurling

Might be underwatered, most leaves curl when they’re dry

If this was recently an unrooted cutting it could be because it’s not properly rooted yet. I’ve found Scindapsus can take a long time to root and the leaves will curl like this during the waiting period, but also if it is already properly rooted it’s likely a sign of underwatering.

Mine took forever to get established after I propagated it. Even when I thought it had plenty of roots it still grew very slowly and curled a lot until just recently. I would suggest watering when the soil is dry and being patient. Hopefully in a couple of months it will start filling out for you.
