Hmm I’m sure it could be a different problem but have you been misting it often? If you must plants regularly, it can cause fungal issues. If this is the case, remove heavily affected leaves and treat the rest with Neem oil or another fungicide

That’s strange I don’t even mist them often! Thanks for the help x
