This is what it looks like. If your picture is as large as mine then towards the bottom portion of the leaf you can see little green guys that look like chitons. It's extremely odd since the "balls" are not attached to the leaf at all.

So besides the larvae theory I wonder if the plant could excrete salts through its permeable cell walls?

Also, in the picture you can see that the leafs are curling and greying on the edges. Any input?

Thank you again for your time.
