I’ve been seeing wholes in my plants. My African mask, my moonshine snake and my ivy. I sprayed neem oil thinking it would help but idk if it. Any suggestions?

Holes are usually from bugs with chomping capabilities. Have you examined for bugs or are you just spraying just in case? Can you post pictures of the holes?

#### Leslie replied on 2024-03-12

I’ve seen little gnats but other than that I haven’t noticed anything else. Yes I’ll post a pic of each

Gnats won’t cause holes. Post some pics and we’ll try to help you get to the bottom of this.

Is there any possibility that those are just mechanical injuries?
