How’s the drainage? Did you water it throughly? Did you allow it to dry after watering? Fertilizer usage? Indirect sun light?

I had brown spots on my fig and did some internet searching. Can be bugs, bacteria, or mold…I pruned the worst leaves, used an insecticide (small spot first then leaves and soil) and cleaned any webs or bugs off I found. It came back eventually. Wasn’t using fertilizer and it made a huge difference when I started, as well. Good luck!

I know these babies are so picky with everything. You can’t even look at them wrong. It may need to be moved. Mine did that and I moved her to a more indirect bright lit area and she’s happy now. I also have been misting my leaves daily as I don’t have a humidifier. She seems to be loving life right now.
