Hi! I noticed these weird spots on my peperomia Ecuador and they had to have just popped up within like 24 hours. What’s going on with it?

Have you watered in last 24 hours?

#### Em replied on 2026-02-20

It’s a semi hydro plant so it lives in LECA and water and it had a good bit of water in it still

I thought maybe edema from overwatering, but that’s not it then
