Did I do something wrong? Lol I know temps and seasons are changing. I’ve had this frydek since May of this year, she’s been happy healthy and over all just thriving. Not too long ago she had about 6-7 big leafs but then got mites so I cut back all of them except 2 leafs and the babies. After she was healthy again she shot out another new leaf a week ago. However this new leaf came out a lil wonky lol it’s been raining more than usual where I live and my plant is an office plant. Nothing has changed other than it’s been raining off and on for the last 2-3 weeks so it hasn’t gotten as much sun as usual. I fertilized her about 2 weeks ago. I’m not sure if it’s cause of the temp drop and it triggered dormancy mid growth or if it’s just not getting enough sun. I also noticed today that the petiole never fully opened to expose the full stem of the new leaf. Curious if anyone could help me figure this one out! Thank u all so much in advance 🙂

    The leaf unfurling while the petiole is not fully open or not open at all is usually caused by low humidity, which is typical as temps drop. give her a mist every so often and it won't happen again
