Holes found in fairy castle

Post by ydna976 »

So today I noticed these holes on my plant and I'm wondering if I should be worried about them? I haven't noticed any bugs coming out of them or on my plant for that matter, but maybe I'm just not looking close enough. Any advice would be much appreciated! :D

To me the damage looks like just some kind of mechanical injury. Are your plants by any chance outside? There are a number of possible suspects, including birds. The wounds seem to have healed.
Your plant most likely will be fine. If these were insect exit holes, you would not have a healed margin, and probably the plant would either "bleed"or there would be a sign of frass (insect excrement) at the hole entrance.

Yup, my plant is outside. I've observed it everyday for the past couple of weeks, and no new wounds have popped up. Thanks so much!
