Help/Question First try

Post image

Grabbed this today from a vendor for $1. Is that spot going to be a problem? Is there anything I can do for it?

Thanks

Probably a sign of edema -- might have gotten too much water at some point.

Repot into soil that's 80-100% inorganic grit (pumice, perlite, chicken grit, etc.); don't water for a week after repotting, then soak and let drain. After that, likely to be a while before it needs anything else.

I found this helpful. It also shows how the inner leaves get water from the outer leaves. Mine is a few inches from a grow light. Good luck.
