Expert Response
The appearance of the plant and the soil makes me wonder if the potting soil is draining properly. Many indoor plant issues are caused by excessive watering or poor drainage. If this pot does not have drainage holes, I would recommend switching to a different pot. If the potting soil is older, you should also consider using new potting soil, as it breaks down over time and begins to drain poorly. You'll also want to avoid sudden light changes when bringing plants indoors/outdoors. This can cause burning on the plants.
