Brown spots on my Council Tree

I just noticed yesterday I’m getting dark brown spots on three leaves on my council tree, which has been doing really well. Can anyone help me figure out what’s going on and how to remedy? Thanks for your help! #Ficus #CouncilTree #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy

You might have to check the roots and add some perlite for drainage and aeration.

I would think either too much water or direct sunlight. It looks like it might have been burned by the sun.

@SwiftTemptation Thanks, Debbie. It could be that. She gets a small amount of direct sun from the east but she’s about 7 feet (2 meters) from the window. I’ll try moving her back to her original location near a north facing window and see if that helps.

That seems unusual. Mine sits about a foot to the side from an East full length glass door. I’d check the roots. Make sure you aren’t getting any root rot.

@KDkat3 @HedwigRhoda Thank you both for the suggestions. I’ll go ahead and check the roots and repot her in fresh soil. She’s been in the same pot since I got her in May.
