Hi! Do you leave it outside? When was the last time you watered it? From what I can see, the soil looks dry. If in direct sunlight all day too, it looks like the leaves are scorched. If you just got this lil baby, I would recommend giving it a good watering so the soil runs through and is moist. Then bringing it inside and leaving it in bright indirect light. Cut off the damaged leaves so the plant can refocus its energy on healthy growth 🌱
Hi Veda! Your plant card says it's in a pot without drainage, is that accurate? And have you been watering it every 6 days? Several factors lead me believe you could be dealing with root rot as a result of overwatering (no drainage, plastic pot, 3 feet from a window, watered every 6 days). You might want to pull it out of its pot and check the roots. If you find roots that are mushy, dark, smelly...you're dealing with rot.
@alexandriaaah the plant card says it's indoors, so I think she may have just brought it outside to take the photo, but I could be wrong ☺️
This may help get you more responses. The more people you reach, the better your chances!

@MentorCucamelon Veda, did you happen to see the questions in my previous comment? Having as much info as possible is a huge help for folks trying to sort out what's happening with someone's plant and advising on next steps 😊
@stephonicle it was in a potted plant given to me in a basket and I just realized the basket was lined in plastic. I have not been watering every 6 days. I believe I have been overwatering it though. Doesn't have a smell. But the soil is moist. Not mushy
