Verrucosum Amazon sunset - what could be causing this? I ruled out spider mites, thrips and mealies - it’s just these two newest leaves that look like this - all the other ones are dark green and super healthy.

Yeah it’s super bizarre. The splotchiness isn’t indented on the older leaf so doesn’t seem like a pest sucking on the leaf. Maybe some sort of deficiency but the other leaves are super healthy (and I usually struggle keeping verrucosums from crisping)

this could be chlorosis from overly alkaline soil or potentially a nutrient deficiency. try adding used coffee grounds or green tea to the soil to increase the acidity and add back essential nutrients
