Mine did this to me a couple times and I found that adding regular humidity and a consistent watering schedule did the trick!

I have it in my fish tank. It waters itself…?

No way! My pothos is having strange issues like this and I have it growing out of my fish tank as well!!

Air too dry when the new leaf is forming or unfurling. A humidifier nearby would do the trick.

This plant is inside of my fish tank, it should not have humidity issues… there is also a humidifier running 10ft away.

Any chance there was physical stress/rubbing on the leaf before it unfurled? This is more dramatic than it usually looks but kind of looks like leaves that went through transit or were pressed up against something before they opened

### Hemlock Plants commented on 2024-04-12

I wonder if it’s possible the tip of the leaf ended up in the water when it was growing. Not sure if that would do this or if whatever fish are in the tank would/could nibble on a leaf 🤷🏼‍♂️

Maybe it got trapped in an old sheath
