I need some advice! Pls ignore my temporary pot set up😅 I’m the process of moving. I got this Ficus Lyrata/Fiddle leaf about 2 weeks ago and it seems that his leaves have only gotten more brown. Not sure what I’m doing wrong & would love some suggestions!
this dark brown looks like sunburn. a lighter brown may indicate under/overwatering. if you move your ficus to a different spot it should subside! I’ve found that fiddles love bright, indirect light. this way their leaves are safe from scorching. if you have your fiddle in a window spot now, I’d suggest moving it a few feet away. as for the brown that is already on the leaves, it’s there to stay. if I notice my fiddle crisp up a bit I usually just trim the brown off (mostly for aesthetics) and he’s fine!

if the area you keep it in is warm, try moving it somewhere a bit shadier!! if it really really bothers you, prune the affected leaves and always check the roots (never hurts :))
