The new leaves die before they unfurl. 3x’s now, what am I doing wrong ?

Let me initially put out a disclaimer that I am not an expert by any means, but I had this same issue with my gloriosum. The only thing that helped for me was making sure I mist the unfurling leaves more often to help them “loosen up” without manually bothering them. Also more humidity helps too.

You may want to check for root rot, when in doubt look at those roots

Look for rot , or if they are root bound
