Does anyone know what might be wrong with my Ficus? She had some brown on the edges of her leaves when I got her, but I just thought she had crispy edges from sunlight and whatnot, but it is spreading and making leaves drop. She is no longer in direct sunlight (been under a grow light for a while). The first thing I did when I brought her home was clean her leaves and check for pests. I just checked the roots today and nothing seems wrong, all look healthy and I don’t see/smell any rot.

    It may be a fungal thing if it’s spreading? I’m not sure, but if it try a fungicide

    Grow lights can still burn the leaves btw. I learned that the hard way with my variegated pothos, the white easily burns if you have a grow light too close. Good luck though!

    The marks on the stems are normal/ old damage. The leaves look like they have leaf spot disease which is a type of very common fungal disease use a good houseplant (light) fungicide
