Would anyone know what causes these spots? It’s on several of the leaves now and I just want to know if I’m doing something wrong! I’m trying to bottom water a lot because I was having a tiny fungus gnat problem so I think that lead to a bit of under-watering for several plants. Nothing too severe though. I also wipe down my leaves often to prevent pests \& I used alcohol once for some mealybugs. Could that be the culprit? It looks otherwise healthy to me.

A healthy pest-control solution could be sprinkling a bit of cinnamon powder over the soil, it deters several insects as they can’t stand the smell and contains anti fungal properties. Irrelevant fun fact: Add some to your moisturiser to deter/minimalise insect bites this summer :)

Oh man I guess I can’t do this if my sister has a borderline-anaphylactic cinnamon allergy, can I 😅

Oh my, I’ve never heard this before but I’m excited! I love cinnamon and I’ll be trying both of these 😂 thanks!
