I noticed these brown things on the leaves of my monstera right where the stem meets the leaf. There are actually 3 plants in the pot and only the largest seems to have it. I scratched with my nail and it doesn’t come off – does anyone know what this is and should I be concerned?

Normal! It’s scarring from the petiole moving around (moving to face the sun, growth, etc)
Just some stretch marks. Nothing to worry about!
Thank you for the help!! I was worried it was some weirdo pest it acquired while I had it outside for a few weeks
It’s called corking. The plant does this to strengthen areas that move.
