Yellow spots

Okay I already saved this girls life once and now we have these yellow spots. I make sure to wait and water her once she’s dry… I did just spray her with neem oil because the plant next to her had mealy bugs. There are none on her but I didn’t want to chance it. humidity maybe? We’re starting to get dryer days… πŸ™

Lack of humidity maybe? Maybe too much sun? Is it close to a window? πŸ€”
@sarahsalith I don’t know if this picture helps but she’s near the wall and only gets morning Sun… and less now that it’s falls. I did think about that but she did great this summer with more morning sun. Left is east where the sun comes from. And she’s up against the wall on the right.
@sarahsalith I would imagine too much sun and since it’s in a room with windows I would imagine too much sun and lack of humidity.
@KikiGoldblatt the windows are just screens πŸ€— they don’t close in. It was receiving more Sun the summer before the spots even started. They just popped up with less sun. It’s also higher up because our bunny kept trying to eat it, so even less sun with that movement. I will agree with lack of humidity, because in the fall and winter the humidity does tend to drop quickly. Would either of you suggest misting it daily?
@KikiGoldblatt see how dramatic the humidity changes daily? πŸ™„ lol I can feel it in my body too.
@apackwood that's what it is, I bet- just a change in the weather.

I love that plants are real like us and not plastic (except for my #SSOP). They have bruises and bumps and scrapes. πŸ˜‰
IF you just sprayed it with neem, then it could have gotten burned. Once you spray with neem (which is pretty heavy-duty stuff) it's recommended that the plant either be wiped off or kept out of the sun. They neem oil can cause the plant's leaves to burn.

You know tanning oil? Its just one way to go from not burned to burned in about 10 minutes. 😬
@sarahsalith that’s such a beautiful way to put it, just like us, scars and all. Thanks for the help!
