# …okay so I guess I spoke too soon when I said my leaf was growing out…

_Posted by Clairellie on 2024-12-17_

…okay so I guess I spoke too soon when I said my leaf was growing out perfectly. 🤦‍♀️ I watered my clarinervium a few days ago (was late a few days watering if that matters but it is on a schedule). Over the course of the few days after watering, I noticed the new leaf started getting these light specs…is this normal?! Or is something wrong?🥹

Note: this happened to the new leaf before it, I had immediately thought something was wrong \& cut the leaf off \& repotted into a bigger pot when it first happened. I had thought it was cause it needed a repot since it was indeed outgrowing its nursery pot. If anyone knows, pls drop some insight!

Looks a bit like edema from overwatering, doesn’t look like pest damage or fungal/bacterial

Gotcha, I’m guessing the damage will stay?  
Maybe I’ll try my water meter w/ watering from now on so I can make sure it’s more on the dryer side!

Yeah it’ll stay, what’s ur watering schedule like, and what substrate have you got it in
