Brown spots on leaves that are spreading could be caused by several factors:
Fungal or bacterial infection (like leaf spot disease)
Inconsistent watering or underwatering
Nutrient deficiencies, especially potassium or magnesium
Sunburn, if the plant is exposed to direct sunlight
White spots on the leaf surface could indicate:
Salt deposits from hard tap water, often seen as dry white crusts
Pest infestation, like spider mites or thrips, which can cause tiny white or silvery dots (check for webbing too)
Powdery mildew, a fungal issue that appears as white patches
