How much direct sunlight does it get? And for how long?

#### Heather svarte den 2025-04-29

It is set infront of my window from 7-7 I would say it is indirect sunlight. Do you recommend I give it a plant light?

#### Adian Rankin svarte den 2025-04-29

Well this sorta looks like a combo of sun damage and something with the roots. If the sunlight hasn’t been an issue before I wouldn’t worry about it.

Nevertheless, I would check the roots for root rot and spray them down with 3% hydrogen peroxide. And pray

I will check thank you very much

Did you recently get this?

#### Heather svarte den 2025-04-30

Yes I got it maybe a month ago

They do like to be drama queens, so it may still be adjusting. Mine lost several leaves when I first got it. While still pushing out new ones. What soil is it in? If it's straight peat, you'll want to repot with chunky. And some Mycorrhizal sprinkled around the roots will help with shock

Hmm..  
yellowing and faded color might be from low chlorophyll. Could be stress from low light, overwatering, or lacking nutrients. Might be worth checking the soil, light, and feeding schedule.

And this is the "normal" look for a dying odora leaf. That almost white with yellow
