# Hello everyone! I am new to Planta and taking care of plants. Do any…

_Posted by FlowerHaven on 2025-06-05_

Hello everyone! I am new to Planta and taking care of plants. Do any of ya’ll know what is wrong with my Coleus leaves? They have splits in the middle and I’m pretty sure it’s not any kind of pest. If any one knows anything please help!!

What splits down the middle are you referring to? I can see the one damaged leaf. For sure check the plant for little bugs

Here’s another picture of the leaf splitting.

Do you have animals?

### FlowerHaven commented on 2025-06-05

I do have a dog but the plant isn’t in reach of her.

### FlowerHaven commented on 2025-06-05

I was thinking maybe not enough/too much water or sun

### Neptune’s Nest commented on 2025-06-05

I don’t think it would just split in half and still be green around though/ would look sad (yellow/pale/crispy)

### FlowerHaven commented on 2025-06-05

Yeah that is true. I’ll check back in a few days to see if they turn a yellow color. Thank you!
