i had these outside once and caterpillars and spiders ate mine. sense it’s inside, do you have any cats?

It looks like sun damage

I saw online that you can add silica to your water/soil and it should help. I haven’t personally tried it yet, but thought I’d pass that info along.

looks like potential sun damage! if you see some browning on other leaves and new growth though, definitely check the roots for root rot. thai cons are prone to getting it unfortunately

I checked for root rot already but it is in pretty direct sunlight! I’ll try moving it away from the window a little!
