Deformed leaves on strelitzia

Hello

I was wondering if someone could please help me identify why my 5yo potted strelitzia has developed a mystery change in behaviour?

Right now it has some really deformed smaller leaves which Im certain were meant to be much larger!

The big leaves are half the height they used to be; the plant has slowly shrunk to about 1m in the last ~9 months.
The current new leaf has been trying to open for 3 months now : I

It has always been healthy & flourishing... a bit slower over winter but generally always generating leaves, many in spring/summer.

I repotted it about 2 years ago into a BIG pot as it was root bound.

I water it with Seasol & Powerfeed every month (2 weeks between waterings, if that makes sense)...

Nothing at all has changed in terms of environment/treatment... does anyone know what the problem could be? Could it be something as simple as its not getting enough sun all of a sudden? I pulled it out to see whats happening and it was pretty moist, maybe this is my problem? its not root bound.

Thankyou in advance!
LaurenLouise
