One of Herman’s leaves is having the start of some issue, as the new leaf is still forming…any tips?

I dont really have much for tips...I think some browning can be quite common on the white. If you know your lighting, watering, feeding is in check, I wouldn't worry too much, especially if it isnt getting worse. I think it'll be okay. Alot recommend silica...I do use it, I add TPS tropical every watering and the TPS silica gold every 3rd watering...

Check your watering 💚

It’s a self watering wick setup…maybe empty the reservoir for a bit?

Oh those self watering pots always make me nervous. Definitely make sure it’s not over filling
