hey all! i just had a new leaf unfurl on my mccolleys finale, and im wondering what these dots are?? theyre only on this leaf, no signs of pests, i sprayed with neem awhile ago?? is it just burn spots from neem?? 😭 any help appreciated thank you!
I’ve seen something similar in my plants when I get something sprayed on unfurling leaves. I bet it’s just harmless spots from that, and I bet as the leaf hardens and darkens as it ages they will fade and barely be noticeable eventually. I just try not to leave sprays on new growth, and I remove it with a q-tip. But still watch for pests. I just don’t think that’s from a pest or even a fungus or virus. I would consider it harmless if it were my plant. It’s a gorgeous plant!! I can’t do the McColley because my humidity is too low. The leaves don’t unfurl.
1 j'aime thank you!! i was frantically googling signs of pests and none of them really match up to this, so i’m really leaning toward it being the neem too. here’s to hoping lol!

It could be edema, water bubbles on the plant when the roots send too much water to the plant. The water bubbles deflate or burst leaving a pock mark. The new leaf could be more sensitive to this phenomenon.
