    Could the environment be too dry? That leaf looks really dried up, like the humidity isn’t high enough

      I will try misting it more often thank you that’s a good point

      misting might not raise ambient humidity enough. try a humidifier, if you can afford it.

      I’ve got a humidifier. How often would you recommend it on for and how close?

    Leaves typically fold close to conserve water. It may be low humidity or insufficient water at the roots, as commented above. I agree that a humidifier is your best option if humidity is the primary cause of the dryness.

    I’ve had a few brown spots appear on the leaves as well. Can this he related to anything?
