    From what I can see I bet it’s a fungus in the soil. I had a similar thing happen to a plant. I can see you have it sitting on a paper plate. The bottom of the plant isn’t getting any air in the bottom of the pot. I would start by repotting. Remove all the over wet soil clean the pot and spray the roots with hydrogen peroxide diluted, 50/50 water. Let the pot dry and add new dry potting soil. Remove the damaged leaves, and elevate the plant on a plant stand or a heavy duty drainage tray that allows air flow.

      Oh and treat the remaining parts of the plant with neem oil. Not plant related but I love your wine shelf great choices. 🤪
