Are they bumpy or have texture?

#### cam replied on 2026-09-24

Scratched ? If it makes sense. Textured, rough !

#### PLANTS!!🪴🌱 replied on 2026-09-24

Maybe they are callouses?🤷‍♀️  
Did the leaves get broke open or scratched?

#### cam replied on 2026-09-24

Thanks ! Yeah probably. The leaves are healthy and plumped.

Your welcome. Because it’s calloused the plant will be fine. Good luck!

It’s blisters from overwatering. Edema. They will not heal.

#### cam replied on 2026-09-24

Ok thanks ! Like stretch marks

#### Phil replied on 2026-09-24

I should have extrapolated further. It can happen with just one watering and will probably be fine. I’ve come to the conclusion that it seems to happen if the plant has gone extremely dry like hyberphobic. Then gets an extreme dunk of water such as bottom watering. Just my take but may or may not be correct. I have a jade that has these marks even though I do my best to consistently water.
