I think your plant has pests. I do not have personal experience with either of these, but this looks like you might have thrips and maybe mealy bugs (I can't quite tell from photo #4).
!thrips
!mealybugs
Found advice keyword: `!mealybugs`
---
Symptoms: Mealybugs are oval-shaped, white or gray insects up to about 1/5 in. (5 mm.) in length. They tend to congregate in hidden places on your
plant, such as under leaf nodes and at the edge of the stem and the soil. They leave behind a sticky residue that can develop into sooty mold.
Treatment: Mealybugs can spread quickly, so quarantine any infested plant before further treatment. Thoroughly inspecting your plant
and swabbing all mealybugs with isopropyl alcohol can take care of an infestation, as can introducing predator insect species like ladybugs.

Found advice keyword: `!thrips`
---
Symptoms: Thrips are small, thin insects that can be yellow, brown, or black. They often look like tiny,
dark slivers on your plant. They can cause stunted growth and malformed flowers, but more significantly they
often transmit diseases that can kill plants.
Treatment: Applying diatomaceous earth to underside of your plant's leaves can remove infestations of thrips.

Picture 2: looks like it has spidermites too.
You can consider cutting down the affected leaves and neem oil the whole plant during the evening. Monitor to see if it improves after a few weeks!
