It doesn't look like scale to me it looks damaged to me or a disease I'm not sure the disease though. Sorrt..

Should I trim for now and repot in the warmer weather?

### Rose commented on 2026-03-23

I have a few questions before I can help. Are those new leaves, or random leaves? Are the damaged leaves all super close to each other? How often do you water?

#### Alexa💕 replied on 2026-03-23

Random leaves and are in close proximity. The most damaged ones are all stemming from the same cluster. I only water when soil is completely dry all the way to the bottom (I check with chopstick).
