Hi guys!! I have a lipstick plant that was doing really well, but I noticed that the new leaves growing on them have these really weird yellow spots on them. It's not on any of the older leaves - just the new ones! I was scared it might be thrips or other pests but I did multiple, very thorough checks and there are no pests anywhere, including on my other plants. I switched to bottom watering recently because I wondered if maybe it was being underwatered? Otherwise I have no clue what to do about this or if it means the plant is unhappy :( any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

Update: After switching to bottom watering, the new leaves that are growing are now back to their regular lush green colour! Not sure if underwatering was actually the problem but it seems to have fixed it :)
