# I need help with my fiddle, I have a small fiddle that I have never…

_Posted by Kelsey Reed on 2023-08-24_

I need help with my fiddle, I have a small fiddle that I have never once had issues with but this big guy keeps dropping leaves and brown spots on the leaves. It was about 8 feet from a window and I moved it a couple days ago to about 3 feet from a window but I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong! Help!!

Fiddles are pesky! Any time you move it, expect it to drop a few leaves. Just let it be for a while and acclimate. As far as the brown spots, how much are you watering? Brown spots can be caused by overwatering. I know you have another one - is this one potted with a different kind of soil, or pot with less drainage?
