What can this mean? I love my Elly. I notice these marks on her this morning. I keep Elly on my porch which has indirect sun in the late afternoon. Could this be the problem?

That’s definitely not from Sun. Sun damage is more uniform, covers much larger areas, and will look more like the chlorophyll is all dying with either yellowing or turning a black/brown color. That looks like mechanical or pest damages to me
