Hi! New planter here…. Just received this beauty and one left has some brown spot, is this something I need to be concerned about or do anything?

I’ve seen that in mine before. I think it had to do with overwatering but I’ll be interested to hear other opinions.

I just got one of these as well and mine as brown spots too.

White variegation doesn’t have any chlorophyll and is therefore something that takes resources from the plant, so the plant will usually brown off all white portions to conserve energy. It’s nothing to be concerned about. You can try giving it more light so it is getting enough without having to kill off white portions. There’s also a silica supplement you can add when you water that’s supposed to help as well

Thank you! I have it next to a window. I also have a lot of lamps around the house I do not use! Any recommendations on a good grow light bulb I can put in them?
