# Neglected my fiddle fig for about a month w no water and now it has…

_Posted by Kari on 2026-06-13_

Neglected my fiddle fig for about a month w no water and now it has brown spots on the bottom leaves. No pests from what I can see. Just watered it today. Can it be saved or will those leaves drop off and become a bare bottom?

Bare bottom, but I think if you make some cuts near the base new leaves may grow? Don’t quote me on this.
