Can anyone help me identify what is going on with my spider plant? I was on vacay for a week and came back to black spots all over it and holes chewed out of the leaves. It didn’t affect any surrounding plants and there’s piles of the black stuff on the window it spots by. To me the specks look like poop not bugs and we count find anything on the plant other than this.

Great 😭 I don’t even know how this happened. My plants do go outside and the only outside that comes in is through a screen door that might be open for seconds. I’ve had the plant for over a year.
