Most likely need more water

Could be spidermites or low humidity/water

I agree with Tam, it likely needs more water. I’d suggest that if you haven’t already to add the plant to planta and input the window distance then follow the watering schedule it gives you! And on the water days make sure you give it tons of water!!
