# Help Planta babies! I’ve been keeping this plant close to the stove…

_Geplaatst door Kristen Porman op 2026-03-20_

Help Planta babies! I’ve been keeping this plant close to the stove but never near a lit burner, does this look like heat damage? Or is it something scarier that I need to trim immediately? Thank you in advance!

I dont know but for now leave it away from the stove

And what plant is it

Definitely could be worse than heat from the stove (root related) but just be patient and keep an eye to see if it spreads further than that one leaf, or down the stem

Is that a griddle sitting on top of a gas burner? Those leaves may be the first line of defense for the rest of the plant for taking in some of the residual fumes shooting from under the top plate? I'm no Sherlock Holmes though...
