Sunburn?

#FiddleLeafFig is the sunburn or do I have a bigger problem?
1ft to light, indirect
12” pot with drainage

It looks like your Fiddle Leaf Fig might be suffering from sunburn, especially if it's been exposed to direct sunlight for an extended period without proper acclimatization. Fiddle Leaf Figs prefer bright, indirect light and can get sunburnt if placed in direct sunlight for too long. You can move the plant to a spot where it gets plenty of indirect light, and make sure it isn’t getting harsh sun exposure, especially during peak hours. The damaged leaves won’t recover, but new growth should come in healthy once you adjust its light conditions. Additionally, make sure the plant is not sitting in water and has proper drainage, as overwatering combined with direct light could lead to further issues.
Great information. Thanks.
