Um? 🤔 do you have a rabbit? Lol  
Was it outside? Check for caterpillars too!

#### Ji11 replied on 2024-09-28

Or if it’s newer maybe it was damaged before…

#### Cef replied on 2024-09-28

Omgg no lol no rabbit or caterpillar. I always have it inside. Could it be a ladybug you think??

#### Cef replied on 2024-09-28

It’s definitely something that just happened. I’ve had it for a little while now and it wasn’t like that before

#### Ji11 replied on 2024-09-29

Hm I’ve never seen this before so I’m stumped. Could treat with neem oil to combat any pest and/or fungal infection. Also try not to overwater but it doesn’t seem like a watering issue… it seems like someone or something is doing this intentionally

#### Cef replied on 2024-09-29

Omg that’s crazy, I’ll try some neem oil and see. Thank you!

Ladybugs are benificial insects 🐞 for plants they eat pests.

You have a child? Could scissors have been involved?

#### Aisha replied on 2024-10-12

Or a cat? Maybe claws/teeth?

It does look like it got a haircut. 🫤

Check for slugs! Found one in my potted plant once months after I bought it
