Lack of nutrition, improper watering or improper sunlight. Mine were doing the same so I moved them to my bathroom.. they get humidity and indirect sunlight along with watering once a week and seem to be getting happier! 2 new leaves just unfurled.

Welcome!That’s what we’re all here for! Plants can be so needy.. and sometimes it’s hard to figure out exactly what they need to thrive. If I notice mine looking “off” I just start by relocating and go from there.
