My sage plants have strange black flecks/particles all over them. They do not resemble eggs or bugs and honestly look like flecks of soil. I have been monitoring them and they can't be particles of soil. They appear to be the cause of my sage leaves near the base of the plant turning brown at the tips and quickly dying and falling off. I have tried a dishsoap and water treatment as is they were pests as well as manual removal but they keep coming back. I cannot find anything remotely similar in literature or on the internet. Does anyone know what is causing this and how I can remedy it? Thank you so much!
