# My Tineke has been thriving. But I just noticed all of these brown…

My Tineke has been thriving. But I just noticed all of these brown spots on the leaves this morning. I recently repotted about 2 weeks ago. Only thing I can think of is now that the sun is lower in the sky, I get more direct light in my living room. Are those spots from getting to much sun? I moved things around to see if that helps...

I wish my rubber tree would grow and branch like yours!  
How often do you water? Brown spots could indicate overwatering. Do you happen to know which direction the direct light is coming from? They do love bright indirect light, i have mine right up in my western window.
