Thank you! I thought it was getting too much sun, I’ll move it somewhere super sunny ☀️

east or west — these light colored leaves can burn easily so too much direct sun and you’ll have a different problem. but a splash of direct morning or evening sun with bright indirect throughout the day will do the trick

these varieties can be tricky — like a goldilocks plant. they need it just right. since they aren’t green they don’t photosynthesize as efficiently
