How many of the leaves are like that; are the leaves at the base of the main stem also like that? I'd say that looks rootbound based on what I'm seeing so far, how big a pot is that in and how large is that plant? There's not much to go by in that picture but that usually means you've gotta up the size of the pot.... although I'm not even sure what you've got growing there so it might even be that it needs more humidity?

Is that rifat cutting new to you? It kind of looks like it might be due to high light intensity after traveling in a dark box, or some recent change in light, humidity, soil ph or something, especially since all the sets of leaves except the newest are quite healthy looking.

Ok, I'd say back the rifat off of light for a bit. They do like full light ultimately, but you need to re-acclimate it after arrival, and mail time is hard on them.

The instructions I got with mine were: first day in a relatively dark room, 15 minute of light the next day, 30 minutes the third, and so on. Take time in getting it up to speed, and it should be ok. Also, the couple times I've changed the setting for the one I have, the older leaves yellow or brown, but the new ones will grow in healthy to replace those that are damaged.

Other than that, give it plenty of water and high humidity if that's possible, and keep an eye on it. If it gets worse, let us know. Good luck!

Could be a nutrient issue.. Maybe a phosphorous or nitrogen defiency.. the lack of this nutrients result in yellow/brown leaves.

Any updates on how they're doing?
