Anyone know why these spots are appearing on my flf?

almost certainly something to do with watering…what is your watering schedule?

I water it once a week usually but I haven’t been too consistent. Thanks for your help!

Looks like an overwatering issue to me. Your leaves look kinda soft and floppy too, which is another indicator. Make sure you have a really well draining soil mix- I add perlite, sand, and bark to my regular potting mix. I wait to water until it’s totally dry. Try the chopstick method to test the saturation of the soil before watering. If there’s any moisture or wet soil stuck to the stick, hold off on watering. And give it some brighter light maybe. Not direct but the brightest indirect light you can!

It’s been in this pot for years so I’m sure some better soil and an improved watering schedule will help it plenty

I struggled with mine for a while lol, but we’ve finally figured her out. Good luck! Post progress pics in a few weeks!

I’m a new fff mom and these marks were on mine too when I rescued her and it had bugs so I put in a chunky mix and I’m crossing my fingers .🙏🏽🤍🪴

Weekely watering is too much for a fiddle and they like to have a very consistent schedule. Edema is the most probably issue and is probably one of the main issues with fiddles in general. Only water when really dry. It took me a while to get my watering right to stop getting it on my leaves. The good part is the spots usually fade over time so they’ll be less notice.
