# I recently got a silver inch plant and was super happy with how…

_Posted by Lentil on 2026-05-30_

I recently got a silver inch plant and was super happy with how shimmery and glittery the leaves were, but I have noticed the glitter fading from a lot of the leaves. Does anyone know how to fix this? I really would like the shine to come back!

I added a couple of pictures with my flash on and you can see on the left how some of the leaves are not shiny, especially compared to the new growth.

probably just not enough light! you can try putting in in a spot with better lighting or moving it outside

Okay, thank you! It’s too cold to put it outside, but I’ll try putting it in more direct sun!
