Yellow spots all over leaves & leaf curl, but only for pa...

Hey all, my passion flower has yellow spotted leaves and curling leaves, pictured, but only for a section of the vine and not the entire plant. Does anyone know what’s going on? Oldest leaves look good (pictures) and newest growth does as well. Did something happen back at the time those leaves were developing? If so, what? Thank you!
10” pot with drainage

There are several possible reasons the leaves on your Blue Passion Flower is curling and some leaves have yellow spots. We have to play detective to solve this mystery.
πŸ’§Insufficient water is a possibility.
β€’ The skin on your finger is an extremely sensitive moisture meter. Before watering your plant, plunge your index finger deep into the soil, to test the moisture in the soil. Only water your plant when the soil feels dry. Since, your plants water requirements changes (increase or decrease) with the seasons and its environment, this method will reduce the chance of overwatering your plant. Using this finger-soil test will also allow your plant to tell you its thirsty. πŸ™ƒ Over-watering can cause yellow spots and curling leaves also.
β€’When you water your plant, water it deeply, allowing the water to trickle out of the drainage hole. This is allowing the root ball to become hydrated and your plant is getting enough water. The curling of the leaves maybe a sign of under-watering.
Other possible reasons:
β€’Nutrient deficiency
Too much or too little fertilizer can cause yellowing on the leaves.
β€’Pests and infections Check for pest. There is an infection called the cucumber mosaic virus and it can cause curling leaves and yellow spots.
πŸ™ I hope your Blue Passion Flower will make a speedy recovery.
