# Hey could anyone help me identify the problem with my petunia plants?…

_Posted by Kayde on 2024-05-24_

Hey could anyone help me identify the problem with my petunia plants? I don’t see any pests and they seem to be growing new bigger leaves each day so they’re not dying I don’t think… but what are these brown marks/holes?

Its only a couple of leaves, not the entire plant, but it’s happened to both pots (I have one pot with 4 and one pot with 2 planted) so I’m confused on what it could be?

Overall the plant looks healthy my guess is as it was growing those leaves were touching the side leaving a scar on the leaf. No worries

I do hope this is the case! Thank you, I didn’t think of that - the pots are rather rough around the edges so it could well easily be this!
