Thread OP

This is my second Fiddle Leaf Fig. First was lost due to over watering and root rot. This one went through an extremely bad case of fungus gnats (came in soil I believe) and it took me months to get rid of them. They have been gone for about 6 months now.

Recently I've noticed holes in the leaves. Is something eating my plant? I've sprayed some neem oil on it. I don't want to treat it with too much pesticide since it's an indoor plant. Any advice appreciated.

I don't see anything to worry about: if there's something eating leaves, you'll notice much quicker. Hilarious!

PS: if you have Fungus gnats ever again just buy a product named "Gnatrol". A couple of weeks at most and they'll be history.

Just wanted to mention that FLF's don't like drafts. Yours right by an exterior door may be a formula for it losing leaves in future when temps drop. I lost one of these gorgeous plants near my front door in Galveston years ago not knowing this. This article I just Googled confirms my memory about them not liking drafts: https://www.wildinteriors.com/...
