    I believe this is a wondering jew and I need help with the causes of the holes in the leaves.
    Thanks Ed.

    @Mobil8181 - you have my most favourite variety of Wandering Jew. Super pretty and the leaves can look like velvet and just shimmer.

    I'm not sure why yours would have those small holes. Almost makes me think you have some sort of chomping bug - yet - the holes are small. I dunno what would cause this for you.

    Yes, some kind of bug or slug is munching. They probably won't eat much.
