I believe that’s a sign of pests. Have you seen any? Have you checked the roots? I’ve had pests in my soil and roots on a plant before..

I can’t see anything, the roots look healthy just in need of a repot could it be that?

Just googled and think it could be bacterial leaf spots?

#### Amber Gray antwoordde op 2023-11-06

Could be I guess.. I feel like it’s always a guessing game with plants 😆

Thanks for the help

I also think it might be thrips :/ look out for very thin tiny black bugs.

I had them this year unfortunately and the marks they left on my leaves look similar to this!

Make sure to get an insecticide and spray like 3x per week and separate from other plants!
