Fallowing! I have the same problem just ten times worse! ### Adrian님이 2024-06-07에 댓글을 남겼어요. I think it could be edema. I’m currently dealing with it on my raindrop peperomia that I got in the mail. It was potted in a very small 2in pot and I think that caused the leaves to try to absorb more water than it could handle. Essentially edema causes the plant’s cells to burst from trying to absorb too much water, forming the transparent holes or bumps on a plant that typically start to turn brown after a few days. It isn’t a death sentence for your plant, though, if I’m right! Another sign of it can be leaves starting to curl and ‘bumps’ on the leaves. #### Adrian님이 2024-06-07에 답변했습니다. This is what the hole on mine looks like. It’s started to turn brown, but it was translucent and like the green completely came off that part of the leaf. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/CQyscbeN5f0KZltdaSyx3VQZZh8uHYoaKDmCZlFICjE/IOFJE3baQIOELpnGk1p4uQ.webp?size=large) #### Adrian님이 2024-06-07에 답변했습니다. The other leaves are curled and have small bumps on them, like this. What I did to treat it is repot it in fresh, dry soil (and a larger pot) and I’m currently letting it dry out for the next week or so until I see improvement. If it is edema, you shouldn’t cut the leaves off. That will only make the edema worse as the roots will send the water to more leaves. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/CQyscbeN5f0KZltdaSyx3VQZZh8uHYoaKDmCZlFICjE/QtKdY1QwSwuvZvWIJ4KHHA.webp?size=large) #### Dr Greenthumb님이 2024-06-07에 답변했습니다. Had this problem with my monstera for a while and i think your explanation solves the mystery, thanks Adrian #### Adrian님이 2024-06-07에 답변했습니다. Happy to hear it! In small cases your plant can come back, but I’m not sure if my raindrop peperomia is gonna recover, since it’s on all but one of its leaves, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed. I bought mine off Etsy and it arrived this way cause it was in a 2in pot, so the soil was pretty much 90% the plant’s roots to begin with. I didn’t water it. I’m just kinda bummed since she arrived that way. I was really excited to get her. 😔 ### Adrian님이 2024-06-07에 댓글을 남겼어요. Here’s what the “bumps” look like. The affected leaf also feels a little wrinkled. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/CQyscbeN5f0KZltdaSyx3VQZZh8uHYoaKDmCZlFICjE/BRJSEqczTPWgUem9E7fGkA.webp?size=large) #### Tayler님이 2024-06-07에 답변했습니다. Thank you so much for all of your information! I am fairly certain you are correct because there are other leaves that have those kinds of bumps as well. My plant is growing like a weed though, and he was probably in too small of a container for too long but luckily I replanted him in a bigger pot. Good luck on your plant! #### Adrian님이 2024-06-07에 답변했습니다. No problem. And good luck with yours! Monstera are so beautiful. I hope yours recovers soon! --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
