    Unfortunately, your photo did not come through. Depending on where and how the damage appears, it could be many different things. Unfortunately, it will be guesswork without seeing the plant in question, and knowing its exact care routine.

    These problems can range from over/underwatering, to pH imbalances, nutrient overloads/deficiencies, temperatures, and many other factors.
