# Anyone know what these dark brown spots are on my ghost plants? I was…

_Posted by pipersplants on 2025-11-02_

Anyone know what these dark brown spots are on my ghost plants? I was away for a couple weeks and came back to them with these spots and several leaves drying up and falling off. I had placed them in a slightly sunnier spot for one day and noticed it was a little too intense so I moved them back to shade before leaving. So I’m wondering if this is residual sunburn or if it could be a pest I’m not familiar with.

its probably just sunburnt. unfortunately you can't fix the brown spots, but if you dont like the look you can pull those leaves off

Thanks! I noticed small yellow spots too (you can see them clearest in the second picture) - could those also be a symptom of the sunburn?
