need help this iboga has stalled in growth for about a month. it seems like its nearly dead, how can I help it?
it looks like this now:

but it looked like this 4 months ago:

in late winter it lost it's leaves, then grew some back in spring. but I accidentally left the humidity cover off for 2 days and the large leafs dried up, only these tiny ones remained which were there from before. no new growth since then (about 1 month ago)

I don't know about iboga, but the same thing happened to my B. caapi when I forgot to water. It lost all its leaves and put out new ones.
It's done that a couple times and now it looks great. If those leaves grow I think it will come back, mine had to throw out new shoots each time because the tip dried up like yours.
I cut the dead off btw
Edit: i forgot about my P. alba it dropped all of its big leaves a couple times as well from lack of humidity and it was just a stick now its heathly good luck with yours, I didn't do anything special other than water and give it an all purpose fertilizer a few times a year. They were bare for a while when they lost their leaves

Iboga isn't suited to your climate so unless it's in suitable housing ie. A greenhouse, you're essentially wasting your time.
Keep it humid and it may recover.

Iboga needs close to 80% if not higher humidity constantly. It does not tolerate cold nicely at all.
I have about 7 Iboga sprouts this is one of my oldest its a bout just under a month old.

Its currently under 100% humidity and will be so for a while. I believe they can be acclimated but it has to be a very slow and gradual process. But at the first sign of the cold they need to be protected.
