One leaf was like this when I got the plant but now another one has this bubbling. I got the plant from Trader Joe’s (not 100% sure what type of plant) but I got it about a month ago. It gets indirect sunlight and is watered about every other week. Thank you!

It looks like nice stuff is going on. I just hope that you don’t let it die or something like that.
I hope that this plant lives on forever, in whoever’s Home that has 1 or a few of these.
~~Its a Chinese money plant, also known as a Pilea.~~
~~Here is a [link](https://www.epicgardening.com/chinese-money-plant-problems/) to some common problems but I am not seeing your concern listed.~~
~~For how big he is compared to the pot it may be time to repot. They don’t like direct sun but enjoy indirect bright light. – direct sun could burn the leaves.~~
~~Make sure to rotate it often to ensure even growth.~~
~~Here is a quick [YT video](https://youtu.be/_q4JJAs6iu0?si=Y8XsUc8T6j74RY0U) on how to care for them :)~~
I was incorrect this is a different kind of plant that I do not have the knowledge to give guidance. I’m sorry 🙁
Maybe edema from too much water.
This is a raindrop peperomia and they like to dry out between waterings. Peperomias are sometimes referred to as “radiator plants” because they are happy to sit on ledges above radiators, a spot that would make other plants quite unhappy.
I’d suggest that you stop watering it and only water it again when a bamboo skewer inserted in the pot comes out dry or a moist meter shows 0-1.
It’s common for these *Peperomia* to release excess water out from their leaves. Which then sits on the surface as round droplets. And then eventually evaporate. Some other plants also do this.
It does not necessarily mean there is a problem. But if the drops are present more often than not, then do reduce *frequency* of watering. (But still water thoroughly so whole rootball gets wetted)
And pour out excess water from decorative outer pot (or saucer if used) after it’s been watered, so the inner pot is not standing in water. Thats often a main reason for the plant’s need to release excess water.
Then let the soil dry out between watering, but don’t leave it fully dry for too long.
Wayyyyy too much water
