Thoughts on the yellowing on the leaf? Do I leave it? I lost 2 of the big leaves this month. They started getting a black spot that slowly grew over time. Checked the roots and they are in perfect condition. Moved to a smaller pot and added a moss pole.

You can see in the second picture the tiny new leaf. I have a Pink Princess with a tiny new leaf too. What am I doing wrong?

Could it be fertilizer burn or sun damage?

I’ve never fertilized but I have had it by a grow light. I moved it to a different location under a sky light that doesn’t get direct sun to see if that helps
