Hi,

My two fiddle leaf figs were recently transplanted because they were so root bound. We were very careful in transplanting and used a blend made ourselves of perlite, potting soil, and peat moss. Not long after they began to turn a bronze/reddish-brown on the undersides of the leaves, and then a few holes appeared. I immediately thought spider mites and sprayed them down with a dish soap and water mix, as well as some regular water spraying to dampen the leaves. They live on our front porch, sun and some occasional rain. It's been fairly humid here in MA. Any thoughts? The disease seems to be getting worse....
