If it is tight in the pot, it takes a lot of water in the growing season. I keep mine moist then.

It definitely reminds me of what happened to Piper betle.<br /><br />My best treatment guess would be to repot with a significant amount of sulfur and keep in a drier place; maybe watering with a clove/chamomile decoction.
