Something similar is happening to my D. 'Marston Dragon'. It isn't quite
so drastic though- it's just the tips of each fork which turn black and
shrivel up. Some of the time I can see it happening before the leaf even
fully unrolls. I've been very careful about keeping it wet, and then I
thought it might want more humidity so I started misting it daily- no
change.
I was going to post this question anyhow so I thought I'd include it
with Edwin's and hopefully someone can answer both since they sound
similar!
Good luck Edwin, let me know if anything works!
