Anyone know what would be causing certain vines to grow with black spots? I did recently move it and wondering if normal damage or of I need to change something. Not all new growth has this but a handful do

Following!

it could be lack of humidity depending on your area. mist the new leaves as they grow in \& they'll stop tearing like that

Thank you! I had a lot of plants struggling with this. I got a humidifier last week and have it cooking

I live in a really dry place and my pothos and also other common tropical plants have had less of this since I started misting daily

But don't mist them if the direct sun is about to be on them. Wait for a shady part of the day if you try it
