If you’re following the Greg watering schedule it may be getting watered too often. It probably did okay over the last few years but now is telling you it’s not okay. Your oasis profile for Cleopatra says direct sun for 3-6 hours per day and 1.5 feet from the east window. But up above you wrote the blinds are shut. It’s not really getting 3-6 hours a day of direct sun β˜€οΈ but Greg thinks it is and with that much sun figures the soil is drying out fast! More water in the soil than the plant can process could lead to root rot. I’d check her soil to see how wet it is especially at the bottom of the pot. Look at the roots, any brown mushy roots may be dead. You’d want to remove the icky roots and repot in fresh soil. Maybe even rinse off the roots before putting in fresh soil. I think Cleo may be in too big a pot now that you’ve had to remove some anemic leaves πŸƒ. When you look at her roots you can determine then what size pot to use, rule of thumb being 1” - 2” bigger than the root ball. She might be happier in a 4” pot while she recovers. πŸͺ΄
