   Sunburn maybe or bugs? I am not totally sure.

   I don’t know but it happens to me too. Very frustrating

   Honestly just bad luck (at least in my experience) like the leaf getting bumped or messed with before it was unfurled/during the pushing out phase. The other times I’ve had something similar was with over/watering, but it had lots of brown bits; once I cleaned it up and figured that out, the end result was like the photo you posted.

   If it got bumped while unfurling or open while pushed against something or lastly low humidity when it was unfurling making it stick a bit in that spot and tear as it was opening.

     I am not a plant mister but when a leaf is unfurling a fine mist at night helps the leaves not stick and tear as they open.
