    The spots on the leaves look like edema, which is caused by the plant taking up more water than it can transpire/ pop. Best check soil isn’t staying wet, give good light, may need to check roots or soil change to good drainage. It was ever not watered to a schedule or has poor soil. Does the pot have drainage holes in bottom

    Looked it up for you: Edema Causes Bumps on Leaves Do not worry; these bumps are not contagious. They are caused by edema, a common physiological disorder in plants. When the leaves are in a state of rapid growth, if the water supply is uneven, it can lead to the rupture of cells, resulting in these bumps. When the bumps cluster together, they can form larger lumps. These bumps do not affect the plant’s growth. Avoid Overwatering • Control watering: The soil should be allowed to dry out between waterings. Only water when the top 1-2 inches of soil are completely dry. • Check drainage: Ensure the pot has drainage holes to allow excess water to drain out. After watering, let the plant sit in the water for 10 minutes, then pour away any excess water in the tray. Maintain Ventilation • Good ventilation helps the soil dry faster, so it is recommended to place the plant near a window. In colder months, consider using a fan or opening windows frequently to enhance ventilation. Keep Observing • The existing bumps cannot be reversed; they will gradually disappear as the leaves grow. • If new bumps continue to appear, it indicates that the watering frequency is still too high. Adjust the watering frequency to avoid further damage. Pruning • If the bumps are still present after the leaves have grown, you can trim the affected leaves. However, this is not mandatory, as these leaves are still capable of photosynthesis and do not affect the plant’s growth.

    It’s likely edema where the cell bursts and leave dry spots. It could be from an aerosol spray containing an acidic solution if you sprayed anything near the plant. 🪴🍀
