Help! My Lc was accidentally moved too close to the daylight spectrum
incandescent lamp, and now two of its leaves have been sun burned or rather
lamp burned somewhat -- it has brown areas on the leaf where it was closest
to the lamp. I have now moved it away from the lamp of course, is there
anything else I should do (other than being more careful from now on)?
Should I leave the leaves be? or cut off the burned parts? should I treat it
with anything?

Hi Joanna, I vote for doing nothing. Watch it to be sure rot doesn't set
in and start spreading to more of the leaf. In real life, I find that
burned leaves usually stay out of trouble but will yellow and drop if a
really large part of the leaf gets burned. Unfortunately, I've burned a
lot of leaves over the years. Almost always when the plants were out for
the summer and I misjudged where the sun would hit in the afternoon.
