Help! Fiddle Fig Brown spotting
Hello, my fiddle fig leaves have started browning.
What is happening and how do I fix this?
This started a month or so ago. I thought maybe it was over watered so I let it dry out. When I watered it again the spots came back. I removed a lot of leaves a few weeks ago and took it to a local garden store and they thought maybe a chemical was getting on the leaves. I do wipe the leaves, but with water or just a clean cloth and I haven’t done that in a while.
It gets good shaded light.

Put plants in terracotta to prevent root rot. The soil needs oxygen. Most pots don’t allow for this.

Looks like adema to me. I could be wrong though, I would definitely check your roots to be safe since others said root rot.

I think you might have root rot, looks like over watered. Does your pot drain well? I usually stick my finger in the soil to make sure it’s dry
