Hi everyone, I’m not sure what’s wrong with the polyscias Fabian. 😭  
I bought it from IKEA 3 weeks ago, placed it near south facing window with no direct sunlight , don’t think I’ve overwatered it.

I’m not sure if you’re talking about the brown spots or what but overall the leaves look fine to me?

Mine was a little unhappy when I bought it and it was moved from the nursery to my house.

Tbh it lost a lot of leaves but it is coming back really strong I think it is just sensitive to being moved.

From what i have read they can be a little sensitive and don’t like being moved

Hi Idamarina,Thank you so much for the reply. I removed all the leaves with dark spots and moved it from south facing window to north facing window.it’s doing well since then. I think this plant doesn’t like straight sunlight even in winter in Dublin.the dark spots on leaves might be sunburns.
