Why are there green spots? She had these that have grown into this. She was outside due to infestation but has been inside for at least a week, is in a part sun/shade area.

It might be due to condition change. Since most plants can exhibit color change say, light restrictions either to little or to much. Not really sure what plant it is, but that’s my theory. Green is usually a good thing means the plant can photosynthesize correctly and do plant things.

I don’t mind the green for sure, just making sure it wasn’t anything bad! Its a coleus btw! :)

Ahh the green is usually in this case not enough light, since the plant isn’t getting enough light it changes itself to sustain a state better suited for the light it is getting.
