    I unfortunately don’t have any advice but I’m going through the same thing with many of my house plants. From what I’ve gathered from info online it’s either too dry, so you could get a humidifier, or it’s getting too much sun. Nothing I’ve tried has helped my plants that are doing this, so I’m not really sure. Other than those spots it looks healthy. What kind of plant is it? Looks similar to a gardenia with the branches and thick leaves.

    i also don’t have much experience with those either so i might just let it be and maybe it will grow more healthier leaves

    talking from my experience.. you said you had it outside.. it doesn’t like direct sun . It gets burn .. it likes a sunny area . And water once a month.. I mean a good soak

      okay thank you should i keep it inside close to a well lit window or should i put it on my porch that gets light but never direct sunlight?

    Fiddle leaf figs love lights of sunlight and can grow outside in full sun- you see them outside in Florida all the time- but they need to work up to it slowly if they’re not currently used to that much light. My FLF also got sunburnt a couple of years ago when I did the same thing and has bounced back just fine. Yours looks healthy aside from the burn spots; I’m sure it will be alright! It might drop a leaf or two as it adjusts to being in a new spot, but this is normal. If you’re asking about general care (for it as an indoor plant): -Give it lots of light, like as much as you possibly can. Grow lights work well if you don’t have a spot with enough light. *However*, if you’re moving it to something like a south or west facing window or back outside, I’d spend 2-4 weeks gradually increasing how much light it gets first to prevent any further sunburns. If you live somewhere that doesn’t get colder than 50F, it can ultimately live outside - if you gradually increase the amount of light it gets every day rather than sticking it straight outside. -Water it/add liquid fertilizer when the soil is 75-100% dry, not just when Planta tells you to. I treat Planta notifications like a reminder to check the soil, but I only water if the soil is dry enough. I like to use the “baking method” where I check the soil by using some kind of chopstick or skewer. (Tanner the Planter has helpful videos explaining this on youtube). -Mine is very happy on the Dyna-Gro foliage-pro/Superthrive fertilizer, but any fertilizer with a 9-3-6 or 10-10-10 NPK ratio should be fine as well. -Adding humidity in the winter is not necessary, but can be helpful. Good luck with your gorgeous plant!
