Hey guys this is my first monstera plant and I was looking at her and noticed this on the back of one her leaves, it’s definitely the most mature leaf, just wondering what it is?? Don’t think it’s bugs but yeah.
Could you take some clearer pictures please? Really hard to tell if there’s anything on the leaf. Look on the back and front of the leaf for black things

Stretch marks I think

As the leaf moves and ages it becomes more resilient. This is commonly called “corking” and is completely normal for a mature monstera to do as they look for light. Think of it as structural support!

This is why I love posting on here. It’s exactly what it is. Thank you so much, I had a mini panic attack thinking it was scale.
