Usually overwatering. Let the soil dry more between waterings and confirm the pot drains well.

Low humidity or salt buildup. Raise humidity and flush the soil with plain water occasionally.

Leggy growth / small new leaves

Too little light. Move to brighter indirect light and prune to encourage fuller growth.
