Can anyone help identify what these spots mean?  
This plant is thriving, since i got from my friend i have a fourth leaf growing while hers only has three. But these spots are worrying me. Im new to taking care of plants so this is my baby and i want her to live forever lol.

Could be a couple things:  
• Overwatering  
• Pest damage (check undersides of the leaves)  
• Nutrient deficiency  
• Fertilizer burn

The symptoms of all of these look really similar so it’s hard to tell! So feel free to narrow them down based on the care the plant has been getting.
