# Can anyone help me figure out what is going on with my Audrey ficus?…

_Posted by Kalli 🍄🌱 on 2025-03-31_

Can anyone help me figure out what is going on with my Audrey ficus? Some of the leaves have this on the bottom. I don’t see pests but I think maybe aphids? Or rust fungus? Scale? Help!!  
She’s growing well and only a few leaves have this in random spots. Some old and some new.

I would say scale, if they come off with your fingernail. If not probably what the other poster referenced.

Just note if it’s scale or fungal they have two different treatments! I’m leaning more towards scale too, the bumps almost look convex which makes me think bugs.

It could be a combo of things though too…

Thanks everyone! I’ll try treating the soil and giving her a wipe down and see how she does!

Just know scale requires a lot of treatment, I would check every week and also your plants around they are nasty little pain…
