Could you please show me a closer photo of one of the leaves with the brown patches?

Darryl’s Analysis

You have a pretty severe thrips infestation.  More info on treating thrips HERE.

Pay close attention to the photos so you can become familiar with what thrips look like – this will help you detect an infestation before it becomes a major pain to control.

At this degree of infestation, you may even want to just chop off the newest growth along with its node and try to re-start the plant from there.
