looks like fertilizer and salt toxicity

- Excessive buildup of fertilizers in the pot can lead to the plant absorbing more minerals than it can cope with.

- Salts present in your water supply and added by fertilizers accumulate over time.

- etc.

Prevention:

Flush the pot monthly by watering with copious amounts of water, use a dilute fertilizer, etc.

I was going to say fertilizer and salts too. One tyhing I've done to reduce this is to halve the amount the fertilizer companies reccommend, to only fertilize once a month, and to choose a potting mix that has no added fertilizer. Also use plain water to water all other times.
