My Pilea Peperomia has these black spots inside some of the leaves. I’ve only had it for about 3 weeks and it did have some when I got it, but I feel like it’s getting worse. But I feel like overall he looks healthy? Do I chop those leaves?
Fairly certain that’s black mold fungus (whatever the heck it’s called but it’s bad). Isolate the plant so spores don’t spread to other plants, prune the affected leaves, treat with an antifungal and clean the remaining foliage with neem, make sure there is proper airflow around the plant and good drainage, adjust your watering habits so that it’s not staying overly moist.
