Does anyone know what caused this? Nice dark green leaves but tiny holes go all the way through. (Money tree) First photo (left) is the undersides, the other photo is the tops of the same leaves.

I would like to know the answer to this as well!

Looks like some sort of mite or pest, not sure which though.

My money tree looks sorta like this and it’s bc he’s battling spider mites. I’d use a flashlight and look for webs/bugs!

I thought spider mites too - I’ve been checking daily but so far no sign of bugs or webs. Flashlight is a good idea though!
