Sunburn and Scorched Houseplant Leaves

Sunburn on houseplants is not always dramatic. It may look like pale tan patches, crispy windows in the leaf, bleached areas where green tissue used to be, or dry edges on the side that faces the glass. Because scorched tissue often turns brown, it can be confused with underwatering, fertilizer burn, low humidity, pests, or general decline. The useful question is not only what color the mark has become, but where it appeared and what changed before it showed up.
