She's been super healthy most of the time, but last night I noticed some metallic spotting on one of the bottom leaves of the plant. I read about a couple of solutions, but I'm looking for input from the community here as well!

I wouldn't get concerned over the "metallic" spotting. It can be genetics, it can be some stress. Make sure you water the plant only when soil is fully dry and light and when you water, you get some runoff at the bottom of the pot. Leave that leaf be or just snip it off together with the 2 side branches and the other leaf from same level and most important, light up and relax

Hey gardener! Isn't that a leaf miner type of insect? I saw that earlier in the day but I have serious doubts. Good luck!

It has a small defect but not too tragic 👍 Better a little less than too much feed :-) You can always refill, only if it is too much you have to flush and that is unnecessary stress for your plant and for you 😁

Hello, I would say it's because of the calcium, but if I were you, I wouldn't worry. Prevention • Add dolomite/lime to your growing substrate. • A pH of 6.2 will provide a better environment for calcium absorption. • Add lots of eggshells to your organic compost. • Start a worm farm! Vermicompost offers a ton of nutrients, including calcium. Solutions • Apply a cal-mag booster. • Increase or decrease the pH to reach 6.2. • Add a teaspoon of hydrated lime to 4 liters of water and use the solution to water your plants. I hope this helps you! 😉
