Hey, we moved about 1.5 years ago and our ZZ plant loves its new place. It made 3 new shoots since we moved in and even bloomed last week. But today we found brown spots on the leaves of the newest shoot.

They don't match the online images I found for fungi infections, the plant did not receive too much water. Anyone have a guess? (perhaps it is fungi and I'm just too inexperienced to see it...)

Doesn't look like it has any parasites.

Being the newest leaves, I would still wonder if there were some tiny tiny bugs, some only come out at night. Have you treated with an insecticide?

Not yet. Wanted to get some opinions first on what it could be.
