Hi! I used to have those. It could look like one of these:  
1\. Pests  
2\. Over/under watering (if in pot)  
3\. Fungal/ bacteria infection  
4 Sunburn

Let me know if this helps!! Also, Picture This is an app you can get to scan plants. It will tell you the type of plant and what might be wrong with it

check the stem: are there any sap or dots? it could also be scale

### Donna M commented on 2025-04-15

The stems have a slight white haze on some of them. Is that scale?
