Hello, I am new grower and I have a problem with my plant. I searched for a similar problem in threads with no success. I am hoping someone will help me save my plant.

It seems as some bugs attacked it causing holes in the leaves (see pics). Are they some caterpillars or some other bugs I dont know as I never catch any bugs on my plant doing this, which is weird. Every time I wake up in the morning and check the plant I notice more holes in leaves. It seems every leave is attacked , also small new ones just coming out.

Any idea how to protect and heal it? In my country there are no specialized shops to buy Caterpillar "BT" Spray or any similar product for killing bugs so I would prefer some natural solution.
Anyone knows if nettle solution helps? It is helpful in protecting other vegetables and herbs in my garden, so I thought to give it a try?

Thanks a lot for response

Think you got something sampling your plant. See any critters hanging out? Check the underside of the leaves and what not?

Some type of bug is eating your plant. Maybe they only feed at night.

Absolute fucker to catch these guys, generally they are larvae of moths and look like catapillas although there are other pests that can put holes in your leaves. Stare at the stem and plant when lights go on or off to see if you can catch it as they feed day or night and come down to the soil or hiding place when not feeding.

Good luck, i have them now and again and tbh they take a few weeks for me to find the culprit.

I have caught two earwigs in the place where my plant is and after investigating I found out that those insect eat plants and leave holes just like on my plant.

So, I removed my plant to another place now, we will see if this helps
