Hello community! My fiddle leaf fig and I could use your help with diagnosis. Here are the facts: • The lower leaves on two of the three mature stalks are gradually fading in color (loss of chlorophyll?) and developing brown spots. • They’re taking their sweet, sweet time dropping. • I’ve observed this problem (mainly the fading color) gradually developing since the Spring, so I repotted the plant sometime in the summer, into a custom mixed super chunky soil with coco coir. • In the fall, I observed signs of spider mites as all my baby leaves were either dying and falling off, or growing out scarred. After a shower and frequent misting, I think we’re in the clear on that front. • The plant is directly in front of a window and may be exposed to some winter gusts that seep through the crevices. • I follow the Planta watering schedule and double check that the soil is mostly dry before watering, opting to water less than more. Any insight would be super appreciated! I inherited this plant from a friend 4 years ago and have been so delighted to watch it grow as big and bushy as it has. I’d be so devastated to see it die on me now ):
