I have caused some mechanical damage along the way (with the moss pole i’m using but that’s another story) and I’ve caused some of these bruises and haven’t noticed any adverse effects. In fact, I just popped up to snap a pic for you and I don’t even see evidence of the spots anymore. Just keep an eye on it — as long as it doesn’t get larger and/or softer, it will probably be fine #### Mallicmonsteta antwoordde op 2024-07-23 I put a piece of plant Velcro against the pot #### Mallicmonsteta antwoordde op 2024-07-23 ![Bijlage 1 van 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/uD-qfTEDNxbHbWFQKj9AOmTpOAEw4jUlM67NStjE7ic/FF7CcrXiQ563lTK3MTA0rA.webp?size=large) --- _De Planta-community (https://getplanta.com).
