If you have a cat it might be playing with the leaves?

Were they present from when the leaf unfurled? And what is the humidity like?  
I have heard of something like this happening to new leaves when they unfurl if the humidity is low enough.

#### Holly replied on 2026-06-03

Yes when it unfurled the holes were there

#### Holly replied on 2026-06-03

Humidity isn't great

### Holly commented on 2026-06-03
