Plant rescuing is no accident 😂

Poor thing looks infected 🙁

I wasn’t sure what the markings on the leaves were. I thought maybe sunburn. It’s producing new leaves and looks otherwise healthy. What do you think the infection might be?

#### Kirsty replied on 2023-07-14

After an admittedly quick google, it looks like brown scale, which is just a watering issue :)

Oh that’s good news then.

🤣 accidents happen

That plant was waiting for you 😆  
I rescued 8 orchids and a money tree from the trash and then thought oh crap, what have I done. It’s so satisfying bringing them back to life though.
