# Does anyone know what’s up with the undersides of these leaves?…

Does anyone know what’s up with the undersides of these leaves? They’re healthy and no signs of pests and they haven’t had any trauma.

Might be edema. When did you water last?

I had watered it within the last couple of days. First time iv had edema in anything but my fiddle leaf. Thank you!

Looks like edema where the cells burst from excess water. It looks oily from the back of the leaves. 🪴🍀
