Does that glass have any drainage holes? If not then that could be it's problem. So i would give it a new pot with drainage wholes OR water very little until you can get one.

It's got rocks in the bottom for a drainage layer. She's just a temperamental brat.

I’ve been waiting for my new leaf to pop for 2 weeks and it finally happened!! They just love to see us waiting 😆

Totally worth it! My first fenestration too 😍

It's so pretty! I can't wait for mine to unfurl so I can see what it's doing
