Any idea on what may be causing these little brown divots/spots? Dr Planta said overwatering and not enough light, but her soil isn’t damp (I use a water meter) and she’s under a grow light. There’s no sign of pest either.

It’s a fuzzy petiole btw

It’s possible that it could be from too much direct light, though I’m not sure.

If you look up “leaf burned direct sunlight” you’ll find similar images, though yours is a mild case.

I agree with Anya, my prayer plant had the same look as it was too close to the window and now is back to normal after moving her away 🤷‍♀️
