@ActualPhalsa59 Hi Beverly, Fiddle Leaf Figs are finicky. What do you mean by brown spots? Can you send a picture so I can see what's going on with it?
Beverly I had my fiddle leaf fig sitting near the sidelights of my front door & It was getting brown spots on it too. Someone here told me they liked indirect light but they did not need light shining directly on their leaves. I pushed mine back away from direct sunlight & it’s looking Much better. Hope this helps.
@princesspitstop. Hi Heidi.
@ActualPhalsa59 ohh yeah they look burnt. Move it out of direct sunlight. Like @Grammywith22 said they don't like the sun to touch their leaves. Only water when the top couple of inches of soil is dry then water thoroughly until you can see water draining out of the bottom of the pot. It should definitely start looking better.
