Does anyone know why my Deliciosa would be putting out new leaves with fenestrations but they’re smaller than the one put out before?

Completely normal dude, I thought the same thing but it has a scientific name, it’s just the “beginning” stage of the leaf. It will progressively get bigger and fill in with more color as time passes!👍🏼

If you don’t have it on some sort of support, preferably a moss pole, you could also do that which will promote larger growth 👍
