Hello, why are the leaves turning white like this? I haven’t had it long. It started almost immediately after I brought it home. No pest. Haven’t messed with it besides watering when it’s dry.

might be getting too much light? I grew Up With these all over my yard in Florida and they always look like That for some reason and i think even tho they like The sunlight It might Just be buring Them A tiny bit? Or Under watered but they like to be dried out.

Ive always been bery confused with them😭
