Plants have their own sense of time that isn't measured by the hour hand on a clock, rather, day length (technically it's the length of the dark period) is what the plant pays attention too. When the day length signals the plant to grow, and other cultural conditions allow it to grow normally, your plant should from that point forward start producing healthy growth. It can't 'repair' the damaged growth, though that will eventually be shed and forgotten as the plant grows. What you're seeing is probably the result of an ongoing shedding process that may well have been instigated by conditions that affected the plant even before you acquired it. Your very best coursed of action is to make a good plan that A) ensures good root health B) takes advantages the plants more robust periods and makes allowances for when the plant would be better off without extra human generated stress C) has you ensuring cultural conditions in the area of light, temperature, and nutrition that subject the plant to the lowest level of stress you can comfortably manage. Fortunately, these things are much easier than they sound, but it's not realistic to expect to see the results of your efforts in a month or two. Choose a course, stick by it, be patient. If the course is a good one, your plant will cooperate. If it's not, it will let you know. Al

Given that these are occurring on the new leaves, it could be oedema, a physiological process that happens if the plant has too much water at the time those leaves are forming. My understanding is that they take up more water than they can lose by transpiration, so cell pressure rises and some burst, leaving little scars. It's worse on cloudy or humid days as there is naturally less transpiration then too. The cases I've seen have small reddish-brown spots like yours, but not as many so I could be wrong. If I'm right, it's better than having a disease or pests, as it can be managed by being careful with your watering. These plants like to dry out in between being watered, and don't like soil that stays wet. Putting it in a larger pot may not have helped, especially if you used a fine soil that retains water. The marks won't go away, but they do become less obvious as the leaves darken with age, and if you sort out the water balance the new leaves will be better. There's a lot of information on this forum about soils and watering, just search and you'll find plenty to read. Good luck!

after pruning the first several leaves that come out usually are small and then the next set is bigger, provided there is enough light. I grow and propagate F.Lyratas for years and my leaves on newer 'cuttings' that are are now 3-5 years old are much larger then on the original plant that i haven't been able to fully repot for a very long time (it's quite big). they all get similar light: western and north-eastern exposure in floor to ceiling wall of windows. so i would say yours doesn't get enough light just sitting in 1 eastern window - it needs supplemental artificial lighting if you want it to grow well. you did not mention if you repotted it after rescue. it probably can take a root pruning AND trunk pruning too: i like the tall narrow vase shape you have now, but some of the trunks can take shortening as it is almost to the top of the window. there's plenty of info on the subject if you do a search. it's good time to do it soon and root the tip cuttings too.

Hello, About a month ago, I received this small fiddle leaf fig (FLF) as a gift from a friend! It is placed near a large south-facing window, but is not right beside the window because it is a bit drafty near there. She gets a lot of sunlight throughout the day and I water only when the soil is dry to slightly moist (I check by sticking a dowel in the soil). When I first received it, I also noticed that most of its leaves were curling in-wards and felt stiff (pic #1 and 2), in comparison to some of the more "supple" and leafy-like ones I've seen on other FLFs. It's been about a month or so and it has grown two new leafs, which are quite supple and green, but not the deep dark green of its fellow leaves. I've also started noticing small brown spots on the underside of a couple of leaves (pic # 3 and 4). The weather has been on the cooler side (I live in Southern Ontario, Canada and winter is ending. So far, the weather in March/April has ranged from snow to rain/cold to cool). The air has been quite dry this winter, but during summer it gets very humid (July and Aug, especially). I'm aware that FLFs are notorious drama queens (I had a previous one that dropped all its leaves after bringing it home, no matter how much love I gave it), and I really don't want this one to die! I guess I'm wondering if the "curling" leaves are normal and if there is anything else I can do to stop the brown spots from spreading? Thank you for any assistance! Pic #1 Pic #2 Pic #3 Pic #4
