i would say it’s ok i would put it in a small pot with well draining soil and back it up from its light source a little

Thanks! I will try those things 😊

Back it up from its light source? It needs full sun to thrive.

#### jerseysplants replied on 2024-03-10

yes but full sun plants can still be burnt especially if the light source is available to it for more than it is needed

It is in a south window with grow lights right now since it’s winter. I will put it in a bright room instead for now to see if it helps with those black spots.

Yes. You just need to repot it into a smaller pot and give it full sun.
