You can’t really see her scars lol cus the other leaves are hiding them

#### Mandrakes\&More replied on 2026-07-02

I’m sure they look wonderful though 💚💚

The newer leaves have edema spots from soaking too long on watering day.

But it is still so pretty! It’s totally pulling it off

This one looks terrible but the newer leaves look much healthier

My Chinese Evergreen started with 5 leaves when I got it, and realized that my family is one CRAZY family, it has only one leaf now, and it’s one of the leaves that were there when I first got it!! One of my strongest plants right now!!🥰

It’s strong and resilient, and so gorgeous! Love it!

I asked people why this violet was browning and one suggestion was leaf burn. I didn’t think my bedroom was that sunny…but I think she’s on the mend, look at those new leaves!

She is just so pretty, she’s just got some freckles! (Which she is pulling off perfectly!)

### MattL commented on 2026-07-02

And this one…sigh. My cat leaves most of my plants alone but…not this one. And I love it so much!

Our scars make us who we are… it’s scars are just a reminder of the battles it’s won! And scars aren’t even a big deal when the whole is already so gorgeous!
