See through dots on leaves?

I have just noticed some very tiny round transparent dots across the leaves of my philo florida green.

I looked closely at the back of the leaves and where the dots are the leaf sap (maybe I don't know) Is leaking from each dot. I don't think I can see any pests.

What can cause this? #plantpeach

This is normal for philodendrons. It is called extrafloral nectaries (EFNs). This happens in the wild.

Occasionally, wipe the back of your leaves and stems otherwise the EFNs will cause burn stains on the leaves (also normal, but just not pretty).
Thank you so much
