New Phal w Damaged Spots on Leaves

[Jenna09]

Hi Everyone

I grabbed a couple el'cheapo phals the other day at my local pharmacy.

Both were wrapped quite tight in plastic so I couldn't see the leaves clearly and I of course picked which ones I thought had the nicest looking blooms and tons of unopened buds.

The one I got seems to have some damaged areas on 2 of its leaves. Is this something I should be concerned about or treat in any way? or just leave it be? Is it actually damaged areas or some sort of issue with the plant itself?

Thanks for any advice!

My thought is mechanical damage. If so, no worries. Others will weigh in.

Looks like sunburn to me. Plant should be fine.

That was my second choice. But, the damage looked as though it had a pattern.

Yes it’s odd it almost looks like mesh.

I will just leave it as is and make sure it doesn’t spread.

Thanks!
