Are we talking about a Serissa? Because serissa leaves turn black due to some general biochemical reaction, not as a sign of any specific ailment.

If holes appear in the leaves of outdoor plants, all sorts of insects could be to blame. In late summer, the nocturnal asiatic beetle will chew leaves at night and vanish during the day. But indoors, not many things can cause holes in the leaves.

Tell us what plant you are talking about, and whether it is indoors or outdoors

Subject: [IBC] Leaves with black tips
To:

Does anyone know what these black tips are a result of?

I haven't used any nutrients so its not any kind of nutirent burn... maybe a
defficiency?

Also is it common to have quite a few holes appearing in leaves? Is this
from some kind of bugs eating them or does it happen naturally because I
haven't seen any mites or anything.
