Hi Everyone!
I live in FL, and have had my fiddle leaf fig for a year now. I keep my guy inside and the window he lives in front of is North-East facing. While my fiddle lead is not dropping leaves, and is steadily producing new leaves, there are brown spots on the leaves. I've tried every different form of watering and can't seem to get it just right. I re-potted it about 4 or 5 months ago into a bigger pot because I was afraid that root rot may have been the issue. When I did this, I took a blogger's advise and used moisture control potting soil. Now I'm worried that this wasn't the right type of soil. I clean my leaves every other week, and try to rotate it at least once a month. I also have been adding fertilizer when I water, in addition to using a fungal spray because there is white growth on the lower stem as well as light spots in the leaves. As you can see, I am desperate for an answer on how to save my fig. Like Nancy, I too have read that putting these guys outside for a bit can really turn them around. So I my fig on my porch, but I really want it inside.. Please help!
