What does it mean if leaves are splitting like this? I love this little guy and she seems healthy otherwise aside from this.

looks underwatered to me. how often are you watering— as in, is the soil totally dry, halfway, or is it still a bit damp underneath the top layer?

I think you’re right. I’ve been watering it every few days or so when the soil’s completely dry. I just found out that I should be be pouring water until it starts leaking from the drainage hole (which i have not been doing 😭) so definitely gonna start doing that.
