I have one of these and wherever the new leaves sprout the little leaves on the edge keep getting crusty and brown and idk why! :(

Okay cool now I wonder why most of the leaves have a red color on the back, but the one big leaf in the front looks like the back is green or maybe yellow ish is something happening there or am I trippin, I keep it out of direct sunlight but it is in a bright Southern window with the blinds mostly dappled closed , it's in my sunroom and the humidity is usually in the 70s and it's usually 68° ish
