The parts that aren’t free are kind of shiny and up close there are little black flecks like mold.

Thrips?

Do you give it nutrients? Might be burned from too much fertilizer. Had that happen to some tomato plants

I just did actually. I repotted and gave it some plant food. Might have been too much. Does the shininess and black specks sound like nutrient burn too?
