oh yikes — do those brush off or are they actual blemishes on the leaves?

I’m like…90% sure this is fungal and you should pull it out of the pot and check your roots for rot and/or fungus

i hate to be a downer but given that it’s on every single leaf, i don’t think the prognosis is good, friend

Most of the black spots wiped off a leaf with a wet paper towel.

fungal 😬 there are treatments you can try but this might be a lost cause. check your roots \& good luck! 💚
