I had a similar problem, is it loosening leaves as you touch the plant? If that’s happening I was told to wipe the leaves with Neem oil, I bought some at a Indian grocery store and wiped the leaves and the plant seems to have recovered.

Ok thanks. Only this stem has scales !! I could chop it I guess

Is it shedding leaves?

#### cam antwoordde op 2026-10-23

Nope ! New growths. Very happy otherwise :)

Then it might be something totally different

Might be edema? The plant drank too much water and it caused the leaf cells to rupture and scar. If this is the cause just make sure you have a really good draining soil mix.
