Does anyone know what these are on the back of my money plants leaves? Any tips on getting rid of them? TIA

    I believe they are mineral deposits from the water. It’s the plants way of filtering them out. I’ve found they can easily be wiped off with a wet cloth.

    Mine are not as defined, but so you can see I have them as well. These leaves are about a year old

      Is it because I have watered it with tap water? I usually water with filtered water or bottled water.

      It’s not typical caused by tap water. Stomata are just the tiny pores on a plant’s leaves that open and close to let the plant “breathe.” They take in carbon dioxide, release oxygen, and let out water vapor. It’s a totally natural part of how plants live and grow. I do recommend keeping to distilled or filtered water though-I’m my experience the tap water has too many chemicals especially depending where you live.
