While misting my Chinese Evergreen and inspecting leaves, I found this. Anything to worry about? The black flecks are soil.

The white stuff may be mold. If you spray apple vinegar and water on the mold it should go away in about a week 😊

Alright. It’s hard and crusty, like a scab.

It looks like mechanical damage! Don’t worry at all!

That makes sense. It had damage to a few leaves when I got it.
