do you have a PH meter?it could be from overwatering? how often do you water it? you should get it to where the soil is dry and kind of moist at the bottom so the roots get longer reaching downward to find water. makes strong roots.

yes mate got a ph meter water is 6.3 but i maybe have over watered have not fed yet either

yes definately you want to start adding nutrients to you plant and at the same time not overwater, it is a science that you will find yourself and get used to it. as for the ph level, people have different views of what it should be. i would personally try to get your pH level more in the range of 5.5-6.0 levels as these plants like it a bit for acidic. take care, have fun, and enjoy!!
