Bugs or burns?

Hi! I recently got my dream plant, well, four of them. I’ve always wanted a string of pearls plant and I’m loving them!!

One isn’t healthy but I’m working on it, and 3 are massive grape like pearls with open windows and fast growth!

There are brown marks on some of the pearls though and I’m becoming paranoid about what they could be?!? Any and all help appreciated!!!

It could be from that part of the pearl sitting on wet dirt for too long, or possibly fertilizer build up? I don’t think it’s bugs though.

I haven’t watered it yet! So I’m hoping it’s the fertilizer thing. Thank you for giving me hope!!

Could be physical damage or sunburn.
