Hammocked Banana

My zebrinia banana is doing something weird. The leaf tried to unroll too early (not choking) and so it ripped and the bottom of the leaf stayed curled up around the newly emerging cigar leaf. It didn't want to unwrap on its own, and was basically strangling the new cigar leaf and caused it to stop growing for a week or so before I went in to do some surgery. Anyone know why this happens? Maybe underwatering? This plant has been particularly dry the last few weeks.
Feb 6, Right after leaf ripped.
