It’s edema btw, seems nobody really answered the question. It’s not normal as it comes from over watering but it IS very common. It’s not harmful so they say but cut back a bit on watering and you shouldn’t run into this issue too much more. Mine really likes to dry out between watering so I try to negelect it just a bit 😂🤷‍♂️
