I’m not familiar with Sea Grape Trees, but these look more like insects to me. I think they may be black bean aphids. Can you tell if they’re moving at all?

@bluebladeliger I dont see movement, but when I zoom in on the picture, they look like little bugs...(maybe panicking rn)

@sXedge Don’t worry! If that’s what they are it should be fairly easy to get rid of them. I would separate the plant from your other plants and wipe off all the visible insects and then spray the plant with an insecticidal soap.

@bluebladeliger Thank you so much. I dont have any insecticidal soap on hand BUT I just found an article that reads, "You can often get rid of aphids by wiping or spraying the leaves of the plant with a mild solution of water and a few drops of dish soap. Soapy water should be reapplied every 2-3 days for 2 weeks." omw to the sink now!

Those. Are. Aphids. Ew.

You could also just take that leaf off since it looks like the majority of the aphids are munching on your newest leaf.οΏΌ

No it is definitely not natural your plant has some type of bugs on it you need to get a pesticide spray from Home Depot or Lowe's that is safe for the plants

@sarahsalith Yeah I was going to say the same. That leaf is done. I had stinking babies on a flower and I chopped it off and flushed them!!
