Do you water with tap water? It could just be the plant pushing out minerals

#### Ellie replied on 2025-04-27

I water with tap water and fertilizer! I did just move, so this tap water could have different minerals than my other place?

My plants do the same thing with my tap water so that's my best guess

Weird! Thank you!

this is what edema from overwatering looked like on mine

#### Mars replied on 2025-04-27

if you've got a very organic, dense soil that holds onto water that could be why.

It’s edema.
