Hennie take a strong magnifying glass and look on the back of the leaves. My guess either red spider or false spider mites. |

Is this simply discoloration or is there some physical damage as well? Red spider mite causes areas of the leaf to collapse giving a discoloration effect as well as the physical feel of indentations along the leaf.

It's very healthy plant ! 
And I have a suggestion for you, put some grainy organic-fertilizer on it will be better.  |

I agree Mike O'C's opinions it's maybe bite with red spider.
In spring & autumn season, I'll give fertilizer one week per one time, and will use this grainy organic-fertilizer in the pot (see photo). about can keep 3 to 4 month. |

is it in full sunlight, and what is your fertilizing method? i think its more of an environmental factor, but thats just my opinion, which cant mean much.
