My Potted Ti Plant Leaves Are Shredding

Question

I live in Southern California about a mile from the ocean. The plant is in a large pot. The pot is unobstructed and faces west. We are experiencing June gloom and temps in the mid to high 60s at the moment. Plant is watered twice per week with a sprinkler system.
