# I got this beautiful Pink Nerve Plant, and I know they can be quite…

_Posted by emma\_m\_d on 2023-12-07_

I got this beautiful Pink Nerve Plant, and I know they can be quite finicky. Does anyone know if these small white circles (2nd photo) are normal for it’s foliage? It doesn’t seem like fungi or pests, and everything else with the plant is fine. There’s new leaf growth as well (3rd photo.) Should I be worried or am I a helicopter plant parent? Lol

Thank you!! I thought so too, only $6 at my local plant shop!

#### caitlin replied on 2023-12-07

wow that’s amazing ! my local plant shop is extremely overpriced 🙄

#### emma\_m\_d replied on 2023-12-07

That’s the worst 😔 hopefully you find some gems that aren’t too costly!

I would guess those are burn marks from fertilizer or something else splashing on the leaves. Never hurts to gently clean the leaves and watch out for new spots in case I’m wrong.

Thanks so much! It’s a brand new plant for me so I wasn’t sure of its watering or fertilizing schedule, but that does make sense. I appreciate your recommendation!
