Can anybody tell me is going on with my Fiddle Leaf Fig? It looks like some kind of pest has munched on it but I’ve never seen any kind of pest on it or any of my other plants. It is only this one specific leaf too. Anyone have any ideas?
Hmmm, that does look like something is munching on it but could it be environmental damage?
1 gilla Unfortunately no because it is a strictly inside plant. It’s too cold here in the winter to survive so it stays inside and we don’t really allow any animals or bugs inside the house. 🤷‍♂️

Here’s what was eating my plant.
I’ll have to look more closely I guess. Thank you!

I just found a caterpillar yesterday morning chomping on my Calkins Gold. He was gorgeous but he had eaten all of one leaf and was halfway through a second in one night!!
