She’s all floppy and she has these rust spots all over her leaves. She’s also dropped 4 leaves that seemed perfectly fine, not any yellowing at all. Just the spots.
It’s weird because none of the plants that were near her are showing any issues at all.
I can’t figure out if it’s a parasite. It’s hard to tell because she was outside and she had some dirt and pollen on her leaves.
When she first started to flop and show these spots, I sprayed her down with insecticidal soap (and everyone else for good measure), and then about a week later she when still wasn’t looking good, I brought her inside.
I gently wiped both sides of the leaves down with water, thinking I could then could see bugs show up, but after a few days don’t see any pests, at least non that I’m familiar with.
I thought it might have been sun damage, but none of my other tropicals seem unhappy at all.
Any ideas?

It might sound crazy, but those holes look about the same size as the holes in the screen. Do you think that it’s too much direct sun and those are burn marks? Maybe move it to Bright indirect?
Looks like it could be thrips. The black dots on some of the leaves resembles their poop
Im 100% positive it wasn’t me, Im too fat to be eating greens
