What can I do for this baby to prevent the white from turning transparent? The leaf that’s really bad was when it was directly under the light, since then I’ve moved it away & the others seem to be okay but I feel like they could be better. These leaves were all there when I got the plant which was being grown in a greenhouse so could it also be the difference in environment?
That’s edema. Too much water coming in from the roots that the plant can’t release through the standard transpiration process. So, the leaf cells burst like a blister producing the transparent look. It’s not caused by excess light. Guttation is when the leaves drip excess water.
