New leaf browning on bird of paradise

My bird of paradise put out a gorgeous new leaf recently, but it has since started to brown and looks unhealthy. Any idea what’s going wrong and how to fix it? It doesn’t feel crispy/isn’t too close to the window, so I don’t think it’s sunburn. #BirdOfParadise
15ft to light, indirect
8” pot
Last watered 1 month ago
When’s the last time you checked to see what the roots look like? How often do you water it?
@TryYuzutree48 I just repotted/got it a few weeks ago and roots were looking good. I’ve only watered it once since then, but I do have spagnum moss sitting on top so maybe the soil is staying too wet?
Humidity. Don’t have to look twice. BOP are pretty tricky with humidity, so I’d recommend a humidifier.
It could be humidity issues. They do better with consistent humidity. Try using a ph/moist/light meter as well can help!
@PHILO thank you!
