Phang,

Your plant might be infected or stress if it's newly bought.

Hi phangst,
I have a strong certainty that it's caused by sunburn. Also the pot of your larger plant seems to have insufficient media. Maybe you can top up to the rim some cocopeat or LFS. Bicals are infamous for throwing tantrums if water is lacking or humidity is not to their liking.
