Have you checked for pests?

I did. I didn’t see any.

Make sure you aren’t over/under watering it. This can also happen because of Fungal infections and poor drainage so insure air flow and well draining soil. Also prune affected leaves and maintain proper humidity! Sorry it’s kinda long but I hope this helps!
