Hi Sherry,

Thanks for offering up your opinion! I had considered it could be the light, but it seemed strange to me that only one leaf would suffer? Perhaps new leaves are more sensitive to light? Also, since it is only on the new leaf, it could be the watering. I am up in the air.

EDIT: Also, after I watered the plant and the spot appeared, the leaves felt a little softer, almost soggier. The spot especially had a weak and moist(ish) consistency.

What I'm going to do is leave the light as it is and NOT over-water it. If the new leaf turns out fine, we have our answer.

Is it possible the light was too close to the leaves, because those look similar to burn marks to me. Did you wet the leaves and then put the plant right back under the bright bulb? This could cause burn marks like that and I've experienced it myself in the past.


Just a thought and something to consider...
