# I placed my fiddle leaf fig outside for maybe a bit too long to let…

I placed my fiddle leaf fig outside for maybe a bit too long to let it drip after watering and now some of its leaves have brown spots and look sunburnt. Any advice on how to heal her?

There really is no healing for this.  
Just make sure to put it back in its normal spot and water/ fertilize when needed. It should be fine. Just a little sun tan.

Thank you! Fiddle leaf figs can be so fragile so I’m always doing my best to be sensitive with it!

Yes! That is true! If it goes outside. Let it get morning sun about 3 hours max. But baby steps for it to be out there that long. My outside one just died from our heat wave we just had 🥲. But that’s okay.
