What pest moves soil around? I swear I’m not crazy- this leaf had no soil on it a few months ago and is now covered. I noticed a bit of soil on the lower leaves as well. I don’t see anything moving on the leaves or in the soil

Have you checked the soil?

When you are watering the soil possibly is splattering onto the leaves! Mine look exactly like this when I drown them :)
