So I know side wrinkles do not indicate the need to water. You wait for the top to get the pizza crust look.
I honestly can’t say when it started. It can’t have taken long because they’re the first thing I do in the am. Turn on their lights. So I have my eye on them fairly well. So I don’t know how I missed it🤷🏻♀️. Maybe I was mostly focusing on the tops. Lesson learned.
One wrinkly side is hard like a shedding leaf. The other is soft, not squishy, the way an outer leaf gets as it’s being absorbed. Is it stuck?
I haven’t watered it in the maybe 4-5 months I’ve had it. Just switched substrate. It was an overwatered HD buy.
I’ve dealt with rot and this is not rot. At least none like I’ve seen. But I’m a newbie and could be wrong 😆.
The top doesn’t look thirsty to me.
Any ideas about what’s going on and advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Could it be splitting? Sometimes the over watered big box store ones split weird. I’ve seen pictures of some where the new leave are popping out from the side. I’d examine the crack (insert proctologist joke here) and see if its starting to split. 😄
I had a little one that did this, it was as if it had gotten stuck while trying to split. I gave it a little help and it seems fine now.
Just my opinion here, but I think it’s rot. The way the discolouration and how sunken in the wrinkle part is just doesn’t look right to me. If you can feel a new leaf when you give it a slight squeeze, then maybe it’s splitting. But I’ve never seen splitting look like that
