# Hi all, My fiddle leaf fig is pushing out a new leaf that’s entirely…

Hi all,  
My fiddle leaf fig is pushing out a new leaf that’s entirely covered in red spots. This has never happened before and the rest of the plant looks very healthy. No signs of infestations and the plant hasn’t been repotted or moved in a while. Any idea?

It’s edema! My FLF has it and it’s just cells bursting. Totally fine not going to hurt anything. When the leaf gets bigger you won’t hardly notice it!

I’m sure you’re going to get some great answers regarding this. I have that problem with one of my fiddle leaf figs. The red modeling on the underside of the leaves is caused by improper watering, either too much or too little. They’re just a bit fussy and like to be watered at the right time which is when they are half dry. So you don’t want to overwater and you don’t want to underwater.😵‍💫 My fiddle leaf fig, after several months of proper watering, looks great now; most of the red modeling has disappeared. Good luck to you and be a bit more careful about watering. 😊💚🪴

Red spots on fiddle leaf fig leaves are often caused by edema, which is a symptom of inconsistent watering. Edema occurs when a plant's roots absorb more water than the leaves can use, causing pressure to build up and the leaves' cells to burst. The dead cells appear as blisters or dark bruises that are 1–3 mm in size and are only found on new growth. Edema spots are red or brown in color, don't spread or get bigger, and don't leave holes. They will fade over time as the leaves grow out.

Outstanding reply! The one I was hoping for… Complete, in-depth, accurate.… Thank you for such great info. With people like you, we wouldn’t need Planta; you’d put them out of business! 😊💚🪴
