| Hello!
I had recently posted a question on this forum regarding my fiddleleaf fig tree and it was diagnosed as a general transplant shock. I had another question. The tree seems to be doing better (phew!) and sprouting out new leaves everywhere! BUT. The new leaves have clusters of these little rusty colored dots. They are shiny and just in the leaves (can be seen from front and back) but is NOT fuzzy or fungus-y. So I don't think it's rust. These dots are mostly just in the newest leaves... Should I be concerned? What is going on?? THANK YOU SO MUCH! :) |

| I did some research because I think I'm having the same problem. I believe the problem may be under watering. Here's what I found at http://mrec.ifas.ufl.edu/foliage/folnotes/ficus.htm: "Excessive moisture stress Symptoms - Prevention of excessive root development outside the container eliminates most of the shock that occurs when large segments of root are severed from plants because roots extend into soil below the pot. Use of plastic ground covers, drip irrigation and root pruning during production usually eliminates root pruning shock when plants are removed." |
