Definitely a pest to plant get neem oil immediately may be aphids but definitely a pest worth getting rid of ASAP..

I've had it for over a month. The damage was on it when I got it and I cleaned ( washed roots with peroxide and sprayed leaves with need oil) and repotted it and haven't seen any sign of pest. Just took it out of quarantine.

I believe most times with damage from any irregularities of a plant is permanent. So what’s good is you don’t see any preexisting pest activity. And the plant does look pretty healthy. Just continue your treatments as you have been and it’s should continue to look as good as it does now. You’re doing great with the plant I can see that.💯❤️
