I am definitely in over my head with this plant. From the moment I brought it home it has hated me. 😅 What do I do at this point? (Note: I have watered it since taking the picture, but holy cow is it finicky. I either over or under water it and now the leaves are spazzing out on me.)

Mine looks exactly like that but worse. I can’t find it in my heart to compost her. 😭
The marks on the leaves resemble thrips damage :/ I’m really not sure and don’t want to make you panic or anything
Unfortunately I can’t tell from the pictures, it’s more of a feeling cause I’m battling them right now lmao
Just google how to identify them and search for pictures of the damage maybe to be sure? 🙂
I think it looks over watered at some point (edit: see the yellow lines between the brown tips) but it’s dehydrated (leaves curling). Are you doing that to compensate for humidity? Put it in a good place with good airflow but not directly in drafts. Make sure if you’re heavy handed with watering, to repot it in something more airy (think lots of perlite and rice husks etc) with breathable pots. Water consistently.
Also – what kind of water are you using?
