Why do it have these spots on my queen of the night? I haven't seen any bugs and I water when it's dry. Is it getting to much humidity?

    I looks like edema. Too much water going to the cells that burst the cells.

      It's always bone dry when I water cause I know they don't like much. Do you think they may be to close to the humidifier?

      Sometimes, it can be the roots being over achievers and distributing more water than the plant can handle. Not much you can do except not add to the problem by overwatering. Hopefully, it slows down or stops. You may have to cut the leaf/stem and propagate if it gets too unsightly. I looked at your photo of the entire plant. You may need more light. My plants get full direct sunlight until about noon when they get partial shade. They yellowed in the sun. Get them to an East or South (filtered) sunny window. A grow light will help especially with blooming. My two large plants are in the photos. They are 4ft tall now. Zoom in to see the ugly bits. I don’t worry about them. I try to not to let them dry out too long. I’ve trimmed a lot more before bringing them inside today to protect them from predicted sub freezing temperatures. You can see the black 13 gal trash bag with more long cuttings. I have to give them away. 🪴🍀

      This is such a crazy plant. I have 3 but my don't even come close to the size yours are. They look great. I need to rebuild my house so I can have better windows for my plants. Lol

      Mine live outside, zone 8a, on the Texas gulf coast m. I can’t support them inside. Too dark and too large. I would have to butcher them to a small size.

      In in the PNW and they would not survive the winter here but I do put them out in the summer. How do you prop them? This one has crazy long arms and I would live to start some new ones. Thanks

    Does your soil retain a lot of water? You can still get too much water if the soil holds water for a long time rather than letting it drain...

    I doubt that it's the humidity because they grow in a tropical climate. House humidity rarely exceeds that.

    Your plant shown is looking for light. So, it grows spindly stems to climb trees looking for light near the jungle tree canopy. Add a grow light a foot above it and the stems will spread to add the wide leaf like segments that branch and produce flowers. Cut into 6 inch sections and let them callous over about a week before propagating in water or soil. They propagate well in both. I kept a leaf in a jar of water over a decade on my windowsill. It was the mother of my current set.

      Double the pot width if you put them all together in the same pot.
