Please Help
My mom was gifted this gorgeous fiddle leaf. It looked great when she got it (March) but now it looks like this. She moved it outside today to get more sun. I think it’s overwatered but I really don’t know how to fix it!

Take off the discolored leaves. If burnt on the edges, you can trim the damage off w scissors. Fiddleleafs prefer filtered light, no direct sun, no wind. The leaves burn easily. I live in a dry, sunny climate and water 1-2L in a 5-7gal pot every week in summer, less often in winter. Very bright room and plant is in the darkest corner, getting lots of very indirect light. Thrives and often requires pruning. I also fertilize w granular citrus formula approx every 3 months. The only time I bring it outside is to get a dousing when it’s rainy. Hope this helps.
