Does anyone know why my white princess has this mushy spot on one of her leaves? I recently transplanted her because of it in to houseplant/orchid bark/perlite mix because she had a baby plant growing off of her that had a leaf like that as well.

@PrimalKonjac45 Is the plant in question in a plastic pot? If so you might want to repot it into a Terracotta pot. Plastic pot are non-previous whereas Terracotta pots are porous and the soil can breathe, so to speak. The terracotta pot will be able to let the soil dry out much faster, thus potentially avoiding root rot!

If a new leaf was also looking that way and you are describing spots as “mushy”, it sounds overwatered… whichever roots feed those leaves may be rotting.
