# Hello! So I just got this elephant ear plant from Lowe’s a few weeks…

_Posted by Savannah Reed 🌷🌸 on 2023-04-28_

Hello! So I just got this elephant ear plant from Lowe’s a few weeks ago and it’s been doing really well until just this morning I found one of the leaves has turned to a weird tan color and it’s very limp and weak. I have no idea what’s going on with it and would very much like to know how to save it! Thanks!

I might’ve gotten sunburned.

I didn’t even know plants could get sunburned haha. It has been out in the sun a lot lately. Thank you!

Yes, def looks sunburnt.. the little leaf on the bottom right in the last pic is also scorched from the sun. Def try to keep it out of direct harsh sunlight as much as possible. Typically afternoon sun is way more harsh than morning sun… so if you can move it to a place that’s shaded it will greatly thank you 😁
