Yes! Could be a reaction to hard minerals in your water - could be something going on with your roots, check them gently.

Tell us more about its care. How much light does it get, how and how often are you watering

Watering once a week. It’s sat opposite a big window so gets plenty of light but I don’t think too much. I live in an area with soft water but could switch to filtered water and check the roots. Thanks
