Crispy bits

Just got this little guy the other day and he has crispy leaf tips. In the sun in an east facing window. Is it sunburn? Thinking I should bring him in under the grow lights until he’s a little bigger?

@GreenGeek Ah, the pink mother of thousands is putting on a crispy leaf tip fashion show, huh? Sunburn is indeed a likely culprit, especially if it's placed in direct sunlight in an east-facing window. It's like a tropical vacation without sunscreen – a little too much sun can lead to crispy consequences! Bringing your little guy in under grow lights temporarily sounds like a wise move. This will give it a chance to recover and grow stronger without the harsh direct sunlight. Gradually introduce it back to sunlight once it's bigger and more established. plants can be a bit like our beach-loving friends – they need a proper tan (or in this case, light) but don't want to overdo it. So, let your pink mother of thousands have a cozy indoor spa day under the grow lights, and you'll likely see those crispy bits bounce back in no time!
@JungleDreamer thank you so much 😊
