Brown spots

What are the brown spots on the leaves?

That definitely look like root rot you will need to check those roots!
Cut off any brown black or mushy roots. Then threat the rest of the roots with one parts peroxide + 3 parts water πŸ’¦ let soak for 5 minutes it will sizzle and pop that’s good it’s killing the bacteria.

After this plant in fresh soil if possible. If you must reuse the soil you can sterilize it by baking at 200 degrees for 1 hour until the soil reaches 180 degrees, this really stinks though. Or the risky way is flush the soil with the pesticide mix thoroughly. This is risky because if any bacteria is left the rot will come back.

Also you need to sterilize the pot as well otherwise the rot will come back from the pot. Scrub well with soapy water and the scrub with peroxide mix.

Now you can re plant πŸͺ΄
