Help what’s happening with my fiddle leaf fig and pothos D: I have suspicions it may be spider mites only bc my anthurium had webbing on the flower (although I found a large arthropod on it after discovering the webbing) and because my other plants have these same black spots

Have you fertilized lately? It doesn’t really look like fertilizer burn, but may be a possibility. My fiddle would do that when I was inconsistent with my watering as well.

I’m being inconsistent with watering and I have NOT fertilized them, ty!
