Looks overwatered. Some plants don’t do well on self watering pots. I recommend stop adding water to the self watering pot. Remove the wick Water when the soil dries. Drain thoroughly.

I’ll tell you what everyone told me when I was having issues with my self watering pot - it probably shouldn’t be in one. Is that some sort of monstera? Either way if it’s a plant that is supposed to dry up before watering, the self water keeps it too moist for too long. My money tree hadn’t grown and had pale green leaves in its self watering pot. Since I’ve repotted it there’s multiple areas of new growth!!

Learned from the best 😉😍

This is a split leaf philodendron (Thaumatophyllum bipinnatifidum), which is different than a monstera, though they’re frequently mistaken for each other. You can see more about their care here : \[link removed\]  
You can also find it in Planta.
