I know they are burns. I suspect they are burns from reflection/refraction from metal shelves (notice the relative uniformity?). The window sill location they were in was fine until I placed a metro-type shelf unit against that sill. The sun must be intense for a short amount of time to burn so discretely (or could I have accidentally created a laser?:rofl:).

I'm gonna hafta get something to cover the shelves. And I got rid of a couple of meters of white fibrous material recently.:roll:

(pssssst: I made up the italic names!)

LOL AnonYMouse! You had me thinking you had some truly different Neofinetia! I hope these heat/sun damage won't hurt the plants too much.

Who would have thought? Hope your neo recovers nicely.

Looks like you caught it in time. Hope they recover

I don't know that was, in fact, what happened. I just cannot come up with a more reasonable explanation. I'll be happy to entertain unreasonable explanations, too.

I'm not worried, they are a tough bunch.

It wasn't the shelves. It was the new privacy film on the window. I couldn't see the high intensity grid until I was looking through a filter.

I couldn't find more of the old film so I bought what I thought was very similar from another manufacturer. They looked the same until I had something between the film and my eyes.

I've white-washed the film for now (perhaps not necessary with the season) and will be looking for a new film.
