# Is my white princess getting too much direct sun? I’m still trying to…

_Posted by CandyTC🪷 on 2024-03-28_

Is my white princess getting too much direct sun? I’m still trying to find the best spot for her- currently I placed her in a South-facing window, hours of sun but filtered by windows with UV protection (I’m told).  
The potential issues I’m seeing are:  
-The top leaves are looking more yellow green.  
-Some leaves have brown spots too, which I learned may be common in the white parts of the leaf.  
She’s been in that spot for almost 2 months.  
Thank you! 😊

I should add that I use a humidifier nearby for her and for the others as well. 😃

if its getting direct sunlight thats probably not ideal and can cause burning. bright light is good but if the sun rays are hitting it that could be causing the browning

It gets sun for a few hours, filtered through windows but hard to tell if it’s too much for the leaves. I’ll have to monitor it closely, thank you!!
