Would love some more details! Looks like it could be overwatered.

So there used to be 3 of them in the same pot. Two of them died and now this one has brown leaves and sorta transparent. The app thinks it’s some kind of bamboo plant. It also has some white circles on it.

Check the roots and assess if you need to make changes to the pot size, soil, or watering. I’d look for rot or dryness, and match pot size to the size of the root ball. It might benefit from a little more aeration to the soil, which can be provided with coco husks, orchid bark, grade 3 perlite, or horticultural charcoal as some options
