It’s hard to tell from the picture, but where do you have the plant located? Is it in front of a window?

Looks like it's got burnt from too much light?

It’s in front of the window

So you need bright but indirect light. I have mine right by the window but with filtering curtains.

### Jenna commented on 2025-01-25

If you have curtains they might be letting in too much light.

Thank you , there are blinds and mostly no direct light but there might be times when it does get some direct light
