Not quite sure what this is

Whilst changing the water in my reservoir, I noticed some of the leaves on my Fatali plant were curling. This is what I found on the backside of the curled leaves.

I beseech ye sages of pestilence, what is murdering my plant?

Looks like a sign of edema. This is normally cased by overwatering and lack of drainage / ventilation.

+1 to Redtail

+1 too. He got it spot on. Either it's too humid, or you're over-watering.

Thanks for the quick reply Redtail!
I dialed back the flood timer for that tray, I'll see if it improves :beer:

Yeah... some of my plants have it too. Just watch how often you water. I noticed the plants that have it worst had a little root dieback too, again suggesting overwatering. Put a fan on them to get air circulating, and hope for the best.

Edema. I had it a lot worse than that on a few of my plants. It went away in a few days when I stopped watering until they wilted an got more air moving around them. More oxygen and less water helped me.
