# I thought this was a leaf malformation but it’s actually my first…

I thought this was a leaf malformation but it’s actually my first inflorescence 🥹🤧 proud plant mama here 🙋🏼‍♀️ However I noticed two new baby yellow spots today 😩 I’d say probably fungal right, any recommendations to treat it? Or do inflorescence cause damage to the oldest leaf like leaf cycling?

I also took it out of its pot and inspected the roots without dislodging all the soil (I don’t want it to do anything while it’s pushing out an inflorescence) and didn’t notice anything worrisome. All of the roots looked healthy. Should I poke around deeper?

I noticed my leaves get a little spot like that if the humidity is too low!

Interesting! I keep it right next to my humidifier set at 65% but maybe it’s not keeping it up as well throughout the day?
