    How much light is he getting, how often are you watering, and what setting did he come from (he could definitely be in shock)?

      Maybe it’s just shock. The newer leaves look good, so that’s a plus. If it persists and more leaves get bad, you may want to use a moisture meter to check soil before you water versus going off a set schedule. Soil type and current conditions plays such a role in watering frequency and Planta doesn’t always get it right… it’s good practice to go off the feel and performance of the plant versus a rigid schedule. I also end up making a lot of my own custom watering schedules on Planta. Just a thought! 🌿 Good luck!
