I recently noticed some strange patterns on the leaves of my plants, as you can see in the attached pictures.
Can anyone help me with it? What should I do?

The first picture is of what is called leaf miners. There isn't much you can do now except to remove the affected leaves. Use neem oil as a preventative. On the second picture that looks like the beginning of a mealy bug infestation. Spray them with neem oil also whenever you see them. Spray all of your plants because mealy bugs will infest everything.

Thanks Chuck.
I did what you said. I am spraying them with Neem oil but the leaf miners are still mining its leaves :-(. The plant is not feeling well, all its flowers are dying. Maybe I cut too many leaves

I know of nothing you can do except to let the miners run their course. All you can do is what you're doing.

Miners rarely kill a plant (unless in big numbers). The main issue they cause is that it makes the leaves look unsightly. I feel like the mealy bugs may be causing the sadness. I recommend neem oil as well.

Thanks. I am spraying them regularly. I hope they go away eventually :).
