The parts that aren’t free are kind of shiny and up close there are little black flecks like mold.

Thrips?

    Thanks. I thought that too but haven’t seen anything. I’ll take another look. The plant only gets hit by sun on one side and I turn is every other day or so.

    I noticed the dying parts of the leaf are kind of shiny and have black specks all over almost like mold.

      Could it be bug poo?

      I always suspected these marks are bugs eating a single layer of the leaf, but never saw it happening. They come many days after the leaf gets eaten.
