Also, to add. BOPs are water lovers. If during when a new leaf is unfurling it doesn't get enough water, it seems that the tip of the leaf is what suffers. Which might explain your second photo. A healthy leaf will emerge without a leaf tip or a browning leaf tip. Make sure it gets LOTS of water and bright sunshine.
