@sleepyb Fortunately, there are common causes for brown spots on a Fiddle Leaf Fig, including root rot, sunburn, pest infections, lack of light, and under watering. The sap of a fiddle leaf fig will turn a rusty brown color as it oxidizes so any small cell damage can result in a reddish-brown spot. It’s not an indication of anything wrong unless it’s spider mites or the plant is being watered blindly watering in poor light conditions. As for the lighter brown spots, these are appearing on older leaves, which is inevitable. Soil flushing can help to minimize it but the overall plant still looks healthy. As you enjoy the plant over the years, you will continually have the lower leaves dying off as new ones grow at the top. There will come a time when it gets so tall that you will want to take a cutting of the top so you can plant it lower into the soil. Happy Growing!
