Have you checked the roots? My first guess would be overwatered/root rot

#### MeanJean replied on 2023-07-02

Thank you. 😊Maybe before I got it? I clipped off the brown leaves and skipped watering 🤷🏻‍♀️

### Corgi Mom commented on 2023-07-02

Looking close to it, looks like white specks on the leaves?

#### MeanJean replied on 2023-07-02

Bugs?

#### Corgi Mom replied on 2023-07-02

Could be spider mites, just looking close at your picture I see white specks? Have a good look, Inspect under leaves as well

If you don't have bugs i would definitely pull it up and examine the roots for rot. If you catch it early you can save your plant.
