Hi everyone. I bought a BOP (Strelitzia nicocolai) a few weeks ago and am having some trouble with it. I have only been watering when the top layer is dry about once a week (although i cant see the bottom drainage holes). It gets indirect light every day and was noticing some serious inward curling around the leaves. After a week of rain I decided to pop it infront of a different window for some direct sun. I made the mistake of putting neem oil on the leaves before hand. I watered it then left it for a few hours and came back to a big drooping/sagging mess.
This is the state of the plant a few days later - my main concern is the leaves with the holes. Is that some sort of pest or fungus.
Any advice is appreciated - im a total newbie.

Thanks,
Hope
