What's this leaf up to? What am I doing wrong to the poor leaf?

The photo is a bit blurry, so it's unclear what the white specks are. With limited information, it could possibly be

  1. Sun scalding (sun burns for plants)- shade cloth can be used to reduce sun exposure
  2. Insect infestation- check the back of the leaves and stems for unwanted pests
  3. Fungal infestation- humidity plus heat in late summer can cause fungal issues

The leaf to me looks green with purple edges! There have been no insects though, I've been checking for those quite a bit and seen none.

Three seems very likely. It's been very veery very humid and wet and hot at points! Thank you!
