# Hey guys! Just got gifted this from a friend who was moving. She’s in…

_Posted by Eva on 2025-11-04_

Hey guys! Just got gifted this from a friend who was moving. She’s in pretty good shape and I don’t overwater or anything. What could these crispy brown spots indicate? Everything I read says overwatering or too much light- but those aren’t really the case. I’m a fairly seasoned plant care taker, and there’s not a ton of light in the location it’s in. Please help! Thanks in advance :)

It could possibly be from under watering or low humidity?
