Default Re: Small black spots

Some of the coloration, such as that on the pseudostem, looks normal. The spots on the leaves however look like some type of mild pathogen. Often, especially on young plants, the leaves are susceptible to bacteria and fungi which do not normally affect more mature plants, and most of the time cause very little damage.

As long as the plants are growing at a normal rate, there is really nothing to worry about.
