It does look like something has been sucking on the leaves, but I don't know what it might be - hopefully someother members will be able to help out!

It looks like it might be ring spot virus. I sure hope not. Isolate immediately.

It just looks like something was sucking on it. Ring spot looks different. Larger. This just loks like meanical damage. Isolate it just to be sure and if it doesn't get worse in thenext week, I wouldn't worry about it. Yellow jackets and other wasps make holes in soft leaved plants. Are all of your leaves like this? Is this damage just on the leaf tips? Are there more every day?

not all of the leaves have that problem. I think that problem has been for a while, I already isolate the plant and iīll be watching it for a week. the problem now is that 3 flowers didnīt bloom, like they get dry iīm not sure.
the damage itīs not only on the leaf tips, but the worst leave itīs the one I took the picture
