# My new plant. New leaves coming out and looked big and healthy, then…

My new plant. New leaves coming out and looked big and healthy, then when washing up the leaves I saw what looks like chew holes on a couple of leaves. What is it?!

The holes getting smaller from left to right makes me think the leaf may have gotten damaged before it unfurled… as for what could’ve caused that damage, I don’t know. 😅

That happeneds to my pothos when it unfurls. Probably gnats or some type of bug
