This happened to mine when I was underfertilizing but there are lots of possibilities I’m sure

Thanks, I’ll try some different things

I can actually tell (most likely) that it has spider mites. Google a picture and compare. For treatment I usually spray a mixture of mostly water, a little dish soap, more rubbing alcohol than you would think, and a lot of neem oil. Let sit AWAY FROM SUN for at least 20 minutes and vigorously spray off with a hose. It’s important to spray every single part of the plant, if you miss a part the mites could come back.
