White ghost in trouble?


Hello everyone, I need help, is my white ghost in trouble or is this normal? New from the local nursery since a month, was careful with watering (only once) and the ground is currently dry. The browner spots worry me, seems to be on only one side, also noticable there arendwer greener areas.thanks!

    Thank you for pic 2. If I were to guess from the pictures, and the fact it is on one side of the plant, it might just be a sunburn in it’s new location.

    Edit; or it received a sunburn at one time.

  2. It needs water more than once a month if it’s sharp draining soil mix and in a well lit/warm area. If it’s in active growth and well rooted you can water it probably once every 7-10 days. These plants grow in full sun. It’s only sunburn if it has been baking in the sun with no moisture in the root zone

    I agree it looks like sunburn. This can be due to moving it into direct sunlight from a more shaded area too quickly (days instead of week(s)), or even having it in the sun on a very hot day while underwatered. These dark spots will leave scars but it still looks like a healthy plant.
