@TotallyLuscious Hello 👋 and welcome to Greg! Your plant have been identified wrong. It’s a Fiddle Leaf Fig.
Can you please post a current picture or two of your plant. If you have any of the leaves that fell off that would be great to.
What Causes Brown Spots on Fiddle Leaf Fig Leaves?
There are four common causes of brown spots on a fiddle leaf fig plant.
Root rot
Bacterial infection
Dryness
Insect damage
To tell the difference, you’ll need to look closely at your plant and examine what’s going wrong.
Examine your fiddle leaf fig to determine the following:
Do the brown spots start at the edge of the leaf or in the center of the leaf?
Are they very dark brown (almost black) or lighter brown (more tan in color)?
Do you see many spots on each leaf or just one large brown area?
Do the brown spots result in the leaves eventually falling off?
Are they affecting older leaves near the bottom of your plant or younger new leaves near the top of your plant?
Once you’ve taken a good look at your brown spots and reviewed the characteristics, it’s time to figure out what the cause is.
Here are the most common causes of brown spots on a fiddle leaf fig, in order of prevalence.
