Anyone know what these white spots are? It's something I haven't seen before. I've been fighting with this plant to keep it alive for years and it's finally doing really well. 🤷‍♀️

Looks like sunburn to me, or potentially powdery mildew. Is it near a window that gets a ton of direct light?

#### MummaDeb replied on 2025-10-16

It's in a SW west but it's behind other plants. It's been in that window for about a year. I'll read up on the powdery mildew. Haven't dealt with that before. Thanks.

I googled it. It's definitely not powdery mildew. You can almost see through those spots. They're very thin, sort of like saran wrap. Weird.

#### Jackalope replied on 2025-10-16

Huh. Yeah that is strange. My best guess is sun spots from burning then. Unfortunately can’t help more than that.. I hope you can figure it out!

#### MummaDeb replied on 2025-10-17

Thanks me too. I cut off those leaves just in case.

Do you use grow lights? That’s how mine look after they’ve grown and touched the lights

#### MummaDeb replied on 2025-10-17

Not on that one.
