📌 Note: Some leaves show scars, fine marks, spots, or superficial scratches that appeared over time from handling, rubbing between leaves, maintenance work, or transport. These signs are strictly aesthetic, they do not “heal” on the existing leaf, but do not affect the plant’s viability; new leaves will grow normally under proper conditions.
