Moses in the Cradle (Rhoeo) Brown Spots: Water Quality or Root Rot

Two Likely Causes

Hard/alkaline tap water: Switch to filtered/distilled/rainwater.
Overwatering after repotting: Larger pot holds water longer. Let top ⅓ of soil dry before watering thoroughly.

Fertilizer only for healthy, vigorous plants. Use plain water until recovery.

East window is appropriate. Not too much sun.
