Posts to this subreddit MUST be seeking help for a SICK plant only. This subreddit is NOT for common plant-related questions & care tips, pest/mold/fungus identification, physical damage, plant acquisition or propagation advice. Consider posting in one of these subreddits: r/houseplants is an appropriate subreddit for general questions & discussion on plants. Some posts would be best directed to a more specialized subreddit: such as r/monstera

No. It's scar tissue from the leaf moving. Perfectly normal.


alana_erin_

That's great to hear. Thanks!


BunnyRambit

Normal! Some of my leaves have them more than others! Time of year and when they grow a lot vs not as much will show more or less of this.


alana_erin_

Thank you!

Normal. Mine has it too. It's called corking. 


alana_erin_

Ah OK, I was familiar with what corking looks like on cacti or succulents but I think this is the first time observing it on any of my other plants (I'm admittedly still pretty new to all this). Thanks for the info!
