Does anyone know what causes this and whether it’s permanent? It’s a philodendron but I’m not sure specifically what kind. Thank you! ![2개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/yLDu3iJEYRZVXVRo9zfyNPc59S4aChmjXUl3QrwQC-E/gQcPYRv3RHm_AWGOAeGpVQ.webp?size=large) ![2개 중 2번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/yLDu3iJEYRZVXVRo9zfyNPc59S4aChmjXUl3QrwQC-E/geusot1CQ0SDKra6zml_mA.webp?size=large) ## 8개의 댓글 ### Tee Jay님이 2024-02-22에 댓글을 남겼어요. Silver sword philodendron. Maybe some physical bruising or the leaves are holding to much water from overwatering? It’s hard to tell from the pic alone #### Stephanie님이 2024-02-22에 답변했습니다. Yes someone said a silver sword earlier. Okay, if it is either of those, are the marks permanent or are they likely to go? #### Tee Jay님이 2024-02-23에 답변했습니다. The marks on the affected leaves will likely stay. New growth would be okay as long as the lighting and water conditions are good ### V.curios님이 2024-02-23에 댓글을 남겼어요. This randomly happens to some of my plants after I water sometimes and it’s been harmless so far. It’s likely extra water in the leaves because they took up water too fast. If this is the case it should go away within a few days. I would only worry if you see what look like water filled blisters. Did you water recently? I’ll also add, that agree it’s kinda hard to tell with the picture, but that is what my gut is telling me since the soil looks pretty saturated. #### Stephanie님이 2024-02-23에 답변했습니다. Yes I watered it yesterday because when I bought it, it was completely drooping and definitely underwatered. Thank you for your answer! #### V.curios님이 2024-02-23에 답변했습니다. If it was really sad from dehydration and you gave it a good soak, then it could be the excess water in the leaves. I’m curious if it looks different now? I’m wondering about the bruising, too, knowing you just brought it home. Like how was it packaged, etc. #### Stephanie님이 2024-02-24에 답변했습니다. This is how it’s looking now. Much much healthier but marks are still there. The shop I bought it from did leave them right by the doors too so maybe it was cold there as well? In terms of packing it was just as it is really, crammed together with other ones like it. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/yLDu3iJEYRZVXVRo9zfyNPc59S4aChmjXUl3QrwQC-E/0EnspFtzSpulnyz_1hrbKQ.webp?size=large) #### V.curios님이 2024-02-24에 답변했습니다. It looks lovely and healthy. It’s hard to know with all the possibilities. So many different things cause similar problems in plant care! My silver sword had problems, so I chopped it back to a few stems and now I have baby leaves that are so cute. Life finds a way! ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/wCECSHcwbUsKD2K8AZoTOJ-oNrETtHxZ3L6DBlOoHO8/u_UHZQYfQS6OUxTtTdgimQ.webp?size=large) --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
