    Thank you for any assistance. This poor plant has become rather suddenly pale and spotty in the last two days.

    I'm guessing some type of root damage. Too wet, too dry, salt-buildup(fertilizer or tap water chemicals).
    Maybe place it in the shower or outdoors in the shade and flush the soil with lots of water.
    Pick it up is it too lite(underwatered), too heavy(overwatered)? Take it out of the pot, does the
    soil smell sour (repot)?
