Hello. I got this umbrella tree 2-3 weeks ago and thought it was a cultivar, but now that I am learning more, I think the spots are an indication of a problem? First of all, Planta ID’d it as an Octopus tree. Is that right? Second, the brown dots are not “on” the leaf, but rather in it (if that makes sense), and I don’t see any thrips or other pests. It does seem the longer I own it, the less dotted leaves I am getting but it has dropped quite a few after the repot. It seems to be stabilizing now though. Any help would be appreciated. PS: I show the underside of the leaves in an image. There is a different brown spot there, but that is not what I am showing.
