Whatās up with the leaves? Is it sun damage? I genuinely have no clue. No sign of pests and I only ever bottom water it. It is right by an eastern facing window and gets a few hours of morning sun.

Is this a good spot? I wanted to know if this is a good spot for my purple shamrocks. I just got her, and I donāt know much about the plant yet (only what Iāve googled today) + she seems a little dramatic. The plant was only $3 so I had to get her! 𤩠The window is west facing but she is behind a sheer curtain :) #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PlantTherapy #NewPlantMom #PlantCorner #FloweringPlants #FalseShamrock #PurpleShamrocks #help
