Oh no they definitely got a little burned☹️ I would clip off the leaves that are yellow or dying and move it to a shadier area to give it a break from the sun. I would also water it with some fertilizer just to help it stimulate new growth!

😩 okay thank you!!

Yeah I’d just cut off those three yellow ones so it’s not putting energy into those and keep it in a part sun part shade area. The rest of the leaves seem fine which is good! It may continue to droop for a day or two because of stress so don’t be alarmed by that.

Clip off the ones that are yellow!
