are you using tap water? the store may have if you haven’t watered yet. these marks look like chemical/mineral burn. use either rainwater or filtered tap water treated with aquarium water conditioner and this should remove the excess chemicals in the soil over time and help your plant hold onto all its unaffected leaves. overwatering or the soil staying wet too long can also cause similar marks. i wouldn’t worry about losing a leaf or two though since your plant looks full and healthy otherwise.

I only use distilled water including misting, but I’m not sure what Lowe’s used while it was there at store.

My Lowe’s is horrendous for overwatering. I usually repot quickly and they typically gives my plants the TLC they need

I actually went to a Lowe’s I don’t usually buy my plants at, I saw her and couldn’t leave without her.
