Not sure what’s going on with my Chinese Evergreen… seeing scarring on some stems. Not seeing any bugs… any ideas?

Had you just misted her or are those sap droplets on her mid-upper stem?

#### PlanterJared replied on 2023-08-02

I think they are sap…

### Rhonda commented on 2023-08-02

Check again closely for bugs; but also for possible injuries to plant. I haven’t grown this but I was looking closely for some kind of lead

### Rhonda commented on 2023-08-02

If the plant is new maybe it’s recovering from treatment??

#### PlanterJared replied on 2023-08-02

It is new… but not sure what you mean by treatment

#### Rhonda replied on 2023-08-02

Such as if it had been recently treated for pests at a nursery

I would say “stretch marks” but I’m not sure!

#### Lisette replied on 2023-08-02

Agree! I have these on my monstera
