John3of3If the leaves of your fiddle leaf fig tree are turning brown in patches, there are several potential causes to consider. Here are a few common reasons and their potential solutions: 1. Overwatering: Fiddle leaf figs are susceptible to root rot if overwatered. Make sure the plant is not sitting in water and allow the top few inches of soil to dry out before watering again. Ensure good drainage in the pot and consider using a moisture meter to gauge when to water. 2. Underwatering: On the other hand, if the plant is not receiving enough water, the leaves can also turn brown and dry out. Make sure you're watering the plant regularly, but not excessively. It's important to find the right balance. 3. Low humidity: Fiddle leaf figs prefer a humid environment. If the air in your home is dry, consider using a humidifier near the plant or occasionally misting the leaves with water to increase humidity. 4. Too much direct sunlight: Fiddle leaf figs prefer bright, indirect light. If they are exposed to too much direct sunlight, especially during the hottest parts of the day, it can cause their leaves to brown and even burn. Consider moving the plant to a location with more filtered light. 5. Nutrient deficiencies: If the plant hasn't been fertilized, or if it's been a long time since the last feeding, it may be suffering from a nutrient deficiency. Consider fertilizing with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer specifically formulated for indoor plants. IMO based on the photos it may need indirect sunlight (#4)

No problem! Being near an open window can potentially cause issues for your fiddle leaf fig, especially if it's subjected to drafts or direct exposure to cold air or strong winds. Here's how proximity to an open window can affect your plant: 1. Drafts: Direct drafts of cold air can shock the plant, leading to stress and potentially causing browning of the leaves. If the plant is too close to a window that's frequently open, particularly during colder months, it may experience temperature fluctuations that can be harmful. 2. Direct sunlight and wind exposure: If the fiddle leaf fig is too close to the window and receives direct sunlight or strong winds, it can lead to leaf burn and stress, which may manifest as browning of the leaves.

North is usually not enough sunlight per day if you’re in the southern hemisphere. I would move to south if possible
