# Hi everyone, I’m on my 8 hour drive home from college and I’m halfway…

_Gepostet von Karsen am 2025-05-02_

Hi everyone, I’m on my 8 hour drive home from college and I’m halfway done, but some of my plants got sunburnt :(((( I have them covered up with a sheet but I’m so so sad. Do I cut off the leaves or do they heal? I’ve never had this happen before. My diffenbachia doesn’t look to bad, but how do I help my children??

I’m not a super pro but I would leave them for a week and if they don’t improve then cut em

They will not heal. They will just continue to get worse.
