What should I do about the brown spot on this leaf? Overall my rubber tree seems to be doing well and has new growth but one leaf has a brown spot!

It wold be fine to leave the leaf, it wold just be for aesthetics to remove it ☺️

Like sky commented, I would guess a sunburn as well

Hi Leen, it looks like your leaf got sunburnt. Nothing serious probably was a weak portion on the leaf and burned. If you remove it that would be for aesthetic reasons. I have had success with spraying my leaves with 100% pure neem oil (bliss), hot water, and a small pump of dish soap. It gets rid of bugs and flies. As an added bonus if the sun is strong on one spot of the leaf. The sun will evaporate the water/oil and protect the leaf. That said it’s more like a stop gap. Too much sun and it will evaporate the mix and burn the leaf anyways.
