This is Lyra. She has recently dropped 2 bottom leaves. Also has these spots. I'm thinking possibly bacterial? What do you all think? I have sprayed her with hypochlorous acid (I have had 2 plants outside with signs of blight. Have saved them with hypochlorus acid!). I water her every 2 weeks or so when the soil feels dry. Also have a humidifier for her but stopped that today.

Seems more like a light/water issue to me. How long has it been in that location? When you water does some come out the bottom? The humidifier is still a good idea.

Ok I'll turn it back on. Yes I water until it runs out the bottom then soak up the run off after an hr or so! This is in a corner near a south facing window. She's been there for 3 of so weeks. Had her in a west window and it was to dark I think.

Thank you! I was worried that direct sunlight from a south window would be to harsh! Thoughts?

If it's not used to that, possibly, but once used to it, that would be ideal.

There are many pics of them growing outside here in the plant database on this site:

Thank you! I'll inch her closer to the window and see what she thinks!

What a plant!

Wow.

Quite the lean starting, small pot rotations might help.
