| If you just got it, it's probably reacting to the change of environment, or bad care it received at some point along the way.[1] People don't normally put them in sunny spots, but I've had my own plants in partial sun before, and the leaves didn't burn. Where I used to work, we had them in a spot that got sun more or less all day long, filtered through the polycarbonate (?) roof, and they didn't burn there either even though that was a lot more intense heat and light than what my personal plant got at home. I'd be worried about this if you'd had it for nine months already and it was suddenly doing this, but if you just got it, I think some of this is to be expected. - [1] (I'm not saying you mistreated it. When I worked in a garden center, most of the plants we got in were shipped to Iowa from Florida, which took usually three days, and a lot of the time the Zamioculcas would be loaded onto the truck wet, and would still be wet when we got them. After three days in the dark, wet, with no evaporation and usually not all that much heat, it was more or less customary for them to drop some leaves on arrival. They recovered quickly.) |
