@stephongreg She has every type of this plant if memory serves me right.
I don’t have one of these but… I’m gonna guess the problem is your Terra cotta pot β€” especially if it’s been in there for a while. It attracts clay minerals (basically leaching stuff like calcium and magnesium from the soil) and it can slowly alkalize your soil to a pH where it can no longer absorb certain nutrients.

Try repotting it (with fresh soil) either in a new non-terra-cotta pot or in a plastic liner pot that will create a physical buffer between any moist soil and the terra cotta (to stop it from messing with the soil)
