That leaf looks like damage, not actual fenestration like the 2 new leaves look to have

What is that called? Mine has something weird as well. I’m a first time mom plant.

@Nancy What is what called?

#### Britt Brat replied on 2025-08-28

Do I cut it off??

#### Britt Brat replied on 2025-08-28

No idea!

#### Wolfen 🐺 replied on 2025-08-28

It doesn't look sick, so no need to cut it off

### Yup commented on 2025-08-28

Fenastrations?

#### Wolfen 🐺 replied on 2025-08-28

Its what the holes that develop in certain plant species are called

It won't look like rotting holes but there will be holes in a pattern the older your plant gets.

### Yup commented on 2025-08-28

Also mist some water on those leaves to make them not rip and to make it easy for them to open

### Nic0le M commented on 2025-08-28

Fenestrations are the holes in the leaves, with maturity the new growth will have more and more fenestrations. Your new leaf seems to have them, the leave your holding in your hand looks like damage

#### Britt Brat replied on 2025-08-28

The 2 leaves with no holes keep getting spots like that. How do I fix it??

#### Nic0le M replied on 2025-08-28

It looks like damage, maybe when they were unfurling they got damaged or from moving it/pets if you have. Sometimes if they look too tight I will mist with water.if they are small leaves I personally would just chop them if they bother you

### Wolfen 🐺 commented on 2025-08-28

For that one leaf, Do you have a cat or dog that could be damaging them? If its a continual thing it could be a pest of some kind
