    Is this a rubber plant? Mine likes to be by a window. Check soil/roots. Might need to let that soil dry out a little and offer more light

      It is! I keep it by a window when it’s indoors during the colder months, and summers I usually put it on my back porch. I typically let the soil dry out in between waterings because I know overwatering is easy to do with these (at least that’s what I’ve read). I recently repotted it into a smaller pot because the root ball did seem smaller than I remembered it being last year but I didn’t see any visible rot

    What is your care routine? How often do you water? How much light is it getting?

      I keep it by a West/Southwest facing window during the winters and summers it’s on my back porch (same direction). It gets plenty of bright indirect light, with a super brief period of direct light while it’s on the porch. And I let it dry out in between waterings. It’s been thriving all year up until just recently and I don’t know what changed

    Looks like a fungal infection maybe?

      That’s what I’m wondering? I’ve never had a plant get any type of infection before so I have no clue how it happened or what to do with it 😂

      Idk how it happens. Maybe you can research that. But I do know you can spray fungicide on it. Follow the directions on the bottle
