I dont see anything wrong really.
Fertilliser is only needed in the active growing season, so starting in about a month or so, depending on your local temps.
Outside is where it belongs, keep it there.

Holes in the leaves and going brown is old leaves that are about to drop soon as new leaves start to grow. The yellow leaves is perfectly fine. That is the new growing tips and is a sign that it has survived the winter and that it feels it is spring now.

You seem to have a slight fungal infection on the leaves. This would fit the small holes and brown tips. Do the holes start as small dry spots in the leave, which then break open and increase in size?

Can you keep the foliage drier?
