Default Discolored Ambulia?

I bought a beautiful large leaf Ambulia plant 16 days ago. Since then
the majority of the plant has turned a green/brown color while the
newest leaves and the tips of the old leaves remain a bright green. I
read these symptoms are either too little iron or too many phosphates
in the water. I don't have an iron test but all other plants are
thriving at the moment.

Ambulia is supposed to be a fast growing plant (right?) so I am
concerned this is an indication that will soon show in the rest of my
plants.

Any opinions?
