# Anyone know of these black spots are Normal on my black velvet? She’s…

Anyone know of these black spots are Normal on my black velvet? She’s always been healthy and pushing leaves and has had them for a while. They’re not bugs and I can’t actually feel them, I just noticed there were more than I previously thought. It’s on all the stems and the base and I just wanna make sure.
