Heya! Found this white mark, it’s chalky and you can scratch it away and there’s nothing underneath it, could it be stagnant water or powdery mildew?

I’m unsure what it is as I never had it. Just keep a eye on it at watering time

That leaf was dying anyway but I don’t think it had anything to do with it dying, as it hasn’t spread and was just on that leaf

Maybe it’s a mark. My plant had it and is still alive. I had no problem with it, is it causing any problems?

I don’t believe so, it’s putting out two more shoots and a new leaf, (the big furled one in the back) also I think the dead leaf wasn’t due to anything, as it hasn’t shown signs of over water/under water or anything. Also the white mark was like chalk, it just crumbled away and didn’t seem like a fungus or anything

Nope it’s a fine plant just normal markings on it!
