Did it start this when you put it in the greenhouse? It looks like overwatering. Possibly some burn too

it happened after i put it in the greenhouse

what should i do

Check the roots for rot. Clean and disinfect the roots with peroxide after removing rot. Change out the soil. Remove dead leaves. Propagate, if needed.

Water when dry and not by a schedule.

More than likely the amount of water you were giving was fine outside the greenhouse. But the greenhouse being more humid, the plant won't transpire as much. So then you are overwatering
