Hi can anyone help me? My plant has this brown spot on it I noticed it last week. Anyone know why this could be?

PS the leaves are short and discoloured because my cats got to it whilst I was at work

Could be lack of Water or light. What conditions is it in?

Oh that makes sense, I watered it a few days ago and the patch keeps getting bigger. The plant is in my bedroom near a window but no direct sunlight.

When was the second last time you watered it? It could be overwatered too. I’m not 100% familiar with this specific plant either but i think the dropping of the flower is normal and part of its life cycle

So I saw the brown mark show up about 21 days ago and that’s when I watered it and then I watered it again 5 days ago. I’ve been very careful with watering my plants because two recently died because I over watered them :(
