    That appears to be spider mite damage! You should treat this right away to avoid further damage. I would recommend putting a few drops of the following in coconut oil: Garlic extract, rosemary oil, lavender oil, mint oil, or cayenne pepper. You don't have to have every ingredient, but the more you have the more effective is it.

    How often do you repot the plant? This sounds like it could be getting rootbound. You may try repotting carefully with fresh soil. This can help your situation.

    This could be a simple fertilization issue. You should fertilize once a year with a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer. They do tend to need a little more light, so being in a brightly lit window, but not in direct light then it will help some.

    It could be powdery mildew. You can use neem oil as a spray for the top of the plant, and wettable sulfur in the soil to get rid of any remaining spores.

    Until it is established, and rooted, you will want to keep it in this humid environment. Wait until it is completely rooted, and then start taking it out of the bag for an hour at a time, then a few hours at a time, and eventually working up to staying out of the bag. If you see signs of algae, or infection, you can put in a capfull of peroxide.

    Patience will be key here.
