It’s a fiddle leaf fig - you probably sneezed in its direction 😂😂 wish I had some insight. I’m too intimidated by their reputation to grab one yet.

I’ve had mine for about 2 years never had a problem to be honest I usually just pluck them off but I’ve never had a problem with it.

Except this

Sneezed in its direction that’s how I feel about Philodendron Birkins lol

It’s probably an older leaf and its near its end so that yellow hue is the lack of nutrients. Without any more details, it could be lack of light, too much water, or even lack of humidity. I would allow it to get brown and then remove it.

I’ve also never fertilized it

#### Adian Rankin antwortete am 2024-10-24

That could also be it. I would leave it alone for now, if it starts to affect higher leaves that are newer, check for root rot immediately
