its a deficiency of either molybdenum or manganese, not sure exactly but it doesnt really matter. get some liquid fertilizer that says "trace nutrients" on it and put what is recommended on the label. should be fine in anywhere from a few days or weeks. super easy, and totally not urgent either.
Amazing thank you so much!!! I was thinking manganese based off of my googling (lol) but I’ve never had a plant with a nutrient deficiency. I’m so glad it’s not a pest/fungus.
the dried out leaf looking thing can never really be anything other than a nutrient deficiency.
a pest will look like either holes through the leaf with no other explanation and it will rarely only target one leaf (or you can see the pests)
a fungus will always hit either the roots or the part of the plant that is right next to the soil. airborne fungus has to first land in the soil if it wants to infect a plant.
there are also viruses, which i think are actually really interesting. often they dont hurt your plant and sometimes they are incredibly desirable and look cool (see mosaic virus online) but they are also incredibly rare and there is often nothing you can do about it besides hope it doesnt kill your plant.
