Fiddle Leaf Fig Posted photos to show the gradual transition over the past 3 weeks after bringing home another FLF. Has anyone seen anything like this before? No signs of any pests, and it showed up on leaves in the middle of the plant. At first I thought it could be sunburn, but now I’m thinking it could be something fungal due to the circular-shaped lesions that developed. Any other thoughts?

    Definitely looks like sunburn to me

    Looks like edema to me. I see you’re on a 6 day watering schedule. I would bump that up to 8-10 days in between watering. If there’s too much water in the soil, the plant will try to sweat it out and if there’s no air circulation, the water will sit in the leaves and cause rot.

      Side note, if that’s a Home Depot pot, those double pots hold a lot of humidity at the base and fiddles don’t like that either. I would take it out of the white pot and sit it on a saucer so there’s more airflow.
