Hello internet, I have a question for you: what is this on my Peperomia obtusifolia?
Slightly raised, slightly shiny, sort of metallic looking scaly stuff on the bottom of leaves (mostly older).
Next question: I understand this is supposed to be a pretty easy plant so why does mine look like crap?
Update - so once it became apparent that edema is very likely just another symptom of the broken down, very dense soil the plant was in I repotted it down from a gallon sized pot to a 4" (once I got the plant out of its old pot I also found that it was very over potted) in much better draining soil. With any luck that will solve all my problems, and if not it needed to be done anyway. I'll probably give it a fairly firm pruning once it seems to have gotten established. Maybe a branch at a time as so far it seems to be a slow grower (for me, anyway).
