I’m not sure if I need to cut this leave off. This is my Jackie, I’ve had her about 3 weeks now and she’s very young. I’m not sure if these marks are debris or something pushing out of her leaves. They appeared to be imbedded two days ago and now they seem to be ”emerging”, (nothing appears to be moving) one of them had either a tail or a dark strand on it and that’s now gone as well. The leave and its stem aren’t as dark as her other one. Cut off or just paranoid?
