Oh nooo!! Have you got your magnifying 🔎 and looked for pests? Also have you checked the roots to make sure they're healthy? Or if some are smelly and squishy? What is your soil like? Is it chuncky? Or dense? Sorry about ALL the questions but i can't tell whats really going on with the plant in this picture..

No actually I haven't checked for bugs haven't checked the roots its chunky mixed with perlite

Should I remove the plant and check the roots maybe the soil is too compacted
