Any idea what is causing this?? My baby Pilea seems to drop leaves overnight. Before I went to bed last night she was fine, this morning I see this leave has fallen off and already browned/blackened. There are also these brown/black spots that look like cuts or bites?

Sounds like over watering, what’s your soil mixture and how much do you water?
