I was watering it today and found little brown spots on the leaves. It seems to be doing good and has new grown though. Is it sun burn? It’s currently hanging in a window that gets direct sunlight till about 11 am and I’ve been watering per planta’s schedule. ![2개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/ctkrq-roNIzNhkrzYUwMu2wUPgJ9HPNeD3U5GqBvoko/6tRzff8QQXWwis2-qMwx9g.webp?size=large) ![2개 중 2번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/ctkrq-roNIzNhkrzYUwMu2wUPgJ9HPNeD3U5GqBvoko/sAqkK8clRD2Tt4MZatCjWg.webp?size=large) ## 7개의 댓글 ### Mullein님이 2024-07-09에 댓글을 남겼어요. Could be an early sign of pests, unfortunately. Sunburn on plants tends to turn big parts of the leaves a yellow/white bleached color or huge crispy brown parts. So I’d rule that out as a possibility in this case #### Lauren님이 2024-07-09에 답변했습니다. Oh no! What can I do? #### Mullein님이 2024-07-09에 답변했습니다. The other commenter did have a good point about humidity. Some plants can damage their own leaves a little as they unfurl if the humidity is low. Is that a factor for your plant? Otherwise, I would look into some kind of pest treatment for houseplants. There are natural methods that can be slower to work, but safer for people and pets. It doesn’t look like a bad infestation based on the pictures, so I think gentler methods would be good personally. But a lot of people on Planta don’t mind more conventional methods and have products they swear by. Depends on your preference #### eatyacarbs님이 2024-07-09에 답변했습니다. What pest are you thinking here?? #### Mullein님이 2024-07-10에 답변했습니다. Something very small that affects young leaves. Thrips or spider mites are two possibilities. I’m not dead-set on thinking that’s what’s causing the small damaged spots, but I think it’s best to not ignore possible early indicators. In my experience, it’s much harder to treat pests after they become an obvious infestation. Hopefully it turns out to just be a little damage from something much less bothersome! ### eatyacarbs님이 2024-07-09에 댓글을 남겼어요. I wouldn’t worry too much. I don’t think this is pests. Adansonii need very hiiiigh humidity and prefer bright indirect. (east or west facing windows) that being said, i had mine in a south facing for a while and initially it bleached but the new growth adapted and i have nice big, dark green leaves now 😊💚 #### eatyacarbs님이 2024-07-09에 답변했습니다. If you’re misting I would stop doing that altogether — but if you insist/are really concerned about humidity, only mist in the morning, never during the brightest parts of the day when it can burn your leaves, and not at night either when water can collect and cause rot and/or fungal infections --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
